The Boom XB-1, a supersonic aircraft, completed its fourth flight on September 21, 2024, at the Mojave Air & Space Port in California. The flight lasted 48 minutes, reaching a top speed of Mach 0.617 and a maximum altitude of 16,150 feet. This success occurred just eight days after its third flight. Meanwhile, the Chennault International Airshow, scheduled for October 24-26, 2025, has been canceled due to contract disputes with the venue. The cancellation was announced with regret by the Chennault International Airshow Board of Directors. In other aviation news, there is a growing trend of private companies using open-source data and optical capture to monitor aircraft landings. This has led to concerns about the potential for additional fees to be imposed on pilots to prevent tracking their flights.
