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.
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth visited the site of U.S. Space Command’s future home Dec. 12 and endorsed the move to establish the headquarters in Alabama after years of political back and forth.
