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.
An important U.S. Air Force E-3 Sentry AWACS command and control plane was among the aircraft damaged in a March 27 Iranian missile and drone attack on Prince Sultan Air Base, Saudi Arabia, people familiar with the matter told Air & Space Forces Magazine.
