Capital Airways puts its first Vickers Viscount 40-passenger airliner into revenue service, being flown on the airline’s Washington, D.C.,-to-Chicago route. Capital is the first U.S. carrier to purchase the Viscount, the world’s first turboprop-powered airliner, and this flight marks the first time since World War I that a British-built aircraft is being flown in regular service over the United States.
Air Combat Command will hold its distinguished William Tell Air-to-Air Weapons competition in March after it was postponed last year.
