The Museum of Aviation in Warner Robins, Ga., received national accreditation from the American Association of Museums. AAM accreditation places the museum in a group of only nine aviation museums in the country that have met the association’s standards of achievement. It has more than 100 aircraft and missiles on display, drawing more than 500,000 visitors annually.
RTX’s Raytheon unit was able to “significantly” extend the range of the AIM-120 Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missile using mostly software changes in experimental tests last year, expanding the reach and lethality of the standard U.S. dogfighting weapon, company officials said Sept. 15.
