Allied Pilots Association Releases Video Statement on Agreement-in-Principle with American Airlines Management
http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20121109006144/en/Allied-Pilots-Association-Releases-Video-Statement-Agreement-in-Principle
American Airlines Group Inc.’s pilots union criticized the company for a toxic work environment, breach of contracts and poor service. The Allied Pilots Association sent a letter to American CEO Doug Parker Friday saying that the company "deliberately” violated contract terms and agreements with workers and broke aviation regulations set by the federal government on crew scheduling, air operations and labor relations. The letter also said that the American Airlines product was "embarrassing" and that many customers have complained to staff about the conditions. The APA said "The pilots of American Airlines will not remain silent as we witness the rebirth of the toxic culture we fought so hard to eradicate." Company spokesman Casey Norton said that American executives are aware of the issues and that they must take better care of employees and customers.

By D.R. STEWART World Staff Writer
American Airlines and its unionized pilots disagree on the causes of flight delays and cancellations that led the bankrupt carrier Thursday to shrink the rest of its September and October schedules by up to 2 percent.
The Allied Pilots Association, which represents 10,000 American pilots, said there is "no job action of any sort that is organized, supported or sanctioned by the Allied Pilots Association," and the increase in flight delays and cancellations is due to American's mismanagement of aircraft maintenance and crew resources.
American management says flight disruptions are the result of escalated mechanical write-ups by pilots and high rates of sick time taken by pilots.
"We are confident in the causes of the recent operational challenges of flight cancellations and delays," said American spokesman Bruce Hicks. "Prior to the recent issues, American had been running a good operation, with on-time performance and reliability measures at their best levels in many years. The recent disruptions are primarily due to the significant increase in maintenance write-ups by our pilots, many right at the time of departure.
"Additionally, continued higher-than-normal sick usage by pilots, which has been up more than 20 percent year over year and has been elevated for months, impacts the availability of reserve pilots, which can ultimately lead to cancellations. Our pilot staffing - without the recent actions regarding maintenance write-ups and the continued increase in sick time - is adequate to meet our scheduling needs and recalling pilots from furlough would not be needed."
In August, APA members rejected American's final contract offer, and two weeks ago U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Sean Lane granted American's motion to nullify its collective bargaining agreement with the APA.
Fort Worth-based American canceled about 300 flights out of nearly 24,000 departures scheduled across its network this week.
Spokesmen for the APA said the union independently tracks American's operational performance and has verified that pilot sick rates are unchanged from historical rates.
"One area of increased operational unreliability we have observed is in mechanical delays, which isn't surprising," APA said. "Although American Airlines operates the oldest fleet of any major U.S. carrier, management has decided to furlough a large number of mechanics and close one of its largest maintenance facilities. Management also decided some time ago to reduce its inventory of spare parts.
"In addition, management halted the recalls of furloughed pilots late last year, which has resulted in an insufficient number of pilots to maintain the schedule properly."
The pilots' allegations of aircraft maintenance issues were supported in bankruptcy documents filed this week by U.S. Bank, the agent for holders of $450 million in American Airlines bonds.
U.S. Bank said American has neglected its planes, failing to make hundreds of repairs. As a result, the value of the planes is deteriorating and may not cover the bonds, the bank said in documents filed in U.S. Bankruptcy Court.
Hicks said American mechanics have worked hard to return aircraft to scheduled flying. The airline's inventory of spare parts is at the highest level in years, he said.
"American has taken significant steps to try to limit the impact on our customers," Hicks said. "We have carefully selected some 300 flights this week to pre-cancel to allow us to re-accommodate passengers in advance. ... In addition, we have increased staffing in all other areas to assist in re-accommodating customers and are reaching out to customers proactively to notify them of the options available and the ability to standby for earlier flights at no charge.
"(W)e apologize to all of our customers for the inconvenience this has caused. We understand how irritating and unfortunate this is in interrupting and delaying their travel plans.
"We appreciate their patience and hope for their understanding."

The pilots union at American Airlines has agreed to put up for a vote a five-year contract proposal that would boost pay by more than 26% and offer smaller raises in later years. The board of the Allied Pilots Association agreed to accept the basic terms of the deal just before the midnight deadline late Saturday, before the offer was pulled and negotiations moved to arbitration. The proposal's language must be completed and voted on by pilots, according to a statement on the union's website. 'Our goal was to conclude negotiations promptly and deliver the best possible result for our pilots,' the statement said. American Airlines Group Inc., based in Fort Worth, Texas, is pushing to reach agreements with its labor unions as part of its 14-month effort to combine operations with merger partner US Airways.

President Clinton has blocked an American Airlines pilots strike Saturday morning, ordering a 60-day "cooling off" period just minutes after union leaders ordered a walkout that would have shut down the nation's largest domestic airline.
Clinton took the action just after union leaders threatened to shut down the airline, a move that would have stranded up to 40- thousand travellers.
Any strike had expected to cost the airline up to 100 (m) million U-S dollars a day and force layoffs of 90-thousand airline workers.
Whether pilots like it or not, American Airlines is back in business.
The pilots hoped to be flying again with improved salaries, with stock options and with better conditions with regional routes.
But instead they're back at square one, still holding out for their demands while ordered to do their job.
For the first time in 30 years, a presidential emergency board was called in for an aviation case.
This means no negotiations for at least 60 days.
In the meantime, American Airlines is back in business flying passengers around the world.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"The Allied Pilots Association rejected the mediators final hypothetical settlement. That is very unfortunate. We were very disappointed in it. It is the settlement as we understood it that the company would have been prepared to accept. Nonetheless what is done is done. If there is any silvery lining to the clouds, it's the airline is operating and we're delighted it's operating. We're delighted that it's gonna continue to operate."
SUPER CAPTION: Robert Crandall, American Airlines President
While the airline is pleased that flights will continue as scheduled, the company President is disappointed that the pilots and the corporation still have unsettled differences.
For passengers, the next couple of months means good news with cheaper flights and better deals.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"Obviously we're gonna go about business as one celebrating we're still in business and two maintain those seats are full up because we'll have seats on sale tomorrow morning, we'll have double mileage awards and we'll have a lot of promotional activities, so we'll get some of that business back. And we're pretty good at anticipating how much we'll get back."
SUPER CAPTION: Robert Crandall, American Airlines President
After the chaos of the on again, off again strike, the head of the pilots' union entered a news conference upset over the end result.
As the union president described the activities of early Saturday morning in Washington DC, he remained disappointed that the U-S President suddenly stepped in and blocked what was their bargaining chip.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"That at one minute after minute tonight I directed our strike chairman to my right, Matthew Field, to shut down American Airlines. They executed the order and they were shutdown for approximately 24 minutes until we received confirmation from the White House that a presidential emergency board had been declared and established. We will always comply with federal law. We then passed onto all of our strike centres to go back to status quo. Pilots are back doing their jobs, their back flying the aircraft, doing it again, the finest pilots we think for the finest airline in the world."
SUPER CAPTION: Captain Jim Sovich, Allied Pilots Association Union President
The executive order by President Bill Clinton means the next 60 days will be a "cooling off" period for pilots and the airline.
During that time a 3 member mediation board will examine the issues and make recommendations.

English/Nat
A spokesman for pilots of American Airlines says there has been no progress in contract talks Friday in Washington D-C.
The airline and its pilots' union have failed to cut a deal despite non-stop contract talks over the last two days.
Both sides say they're still negotiating and hope to end a countdown toward a Friday midnight strike deadline.
U-S officials say a walkout by pilots could cost the airline 200 (m) million dollars a day and leave 40-thousand passengers stranded.
American Airlines' jets were taking off at airports around the U-S Friday.
But it was far from a normal day for the airline.
Two years of bitter negotiations with the Allied Pilots Association, the union representing American pilots, has failed to produce a new contract.
That failure has brought the airline to the brink of a shutdown.
Both sides have been talking around the clock, through mediators.
But by midday Friday, pilots with the union said the outlook for an agreement was grim.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"I can't really say that I'm optimistic at this point. After two and a half years of bargaining, it's unfortunate that we have brought it to this point."
SUPER CAPTION: Captain David Bates, Allied Pilots Association spokesman
A major sticking point in the talks is the union demand that its pilots fly new regional jet routes.
But American says that would be too costly. It wants lower-paid pilots, from a subsidiary firm that fly its current communter planes, to fly new commuter jet routes.
On that key issue, American pilots say, there is no movement.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"We are very disappointed at this point that they have not countered our proposal for the regional jets, and at this time we are not negotiating that proposal."
SUPER CAPTION: Captain David Bates, Allied Pilots Association spokesman
In Washington D-C and around the nation, passengers arriving for American flights were showing their frustration over the labour dispute.
Some say the airline is to blame.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"I think it's a shame, you know. I think the airline should just cave and pay them the extra money. 200-thousand people travelling on American Airlines, stranded - give me a break. Just cave in and pay the extra couple of thousand a year, I'm sure they're losing millions."
SUPER CAPTION: Doug Terrece, American Airlines passenger
Other passengers handled the possibility of cancellation and aggravation by coming to the airport prepared for the worst.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"Nothing. I have a back-up ticket just in case this one gets cancelled, either going or coming. It's fully refundable."
SUPER CAPTION: Linda DeCarlo, American Airlines passenger
An airline researcher talking to travellers said American passengers in particular were nervous about the prospect of a shutdown.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"Well, they're not very happy and they're anxious to get to their destinations, but business has not been as brisk as usual."
SUPER CAPTION: Annette Day, market researcher, Shugall Research
American has cancelled some 90 overseas flights and at least a dozen domestic flights.
Officials at the airline admit there will be some inconvenience to passengers, even without a strike.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"Well, there again we will be booking... rebooking customers on the first available seats which will obviously cost them maybe some changes in their travel plans, but we are accommodating as best we can."
SUPER CAPTION: Dale Morris, Government Affairs Manager, American Airlines
American handles about 20 percent of U-S air traffic, and officials at the airline also admit the stakes are high for both sides if a shutdown occurs.

http://tub3.net/xvideos/ For Live Report Pilots' union meets with American Airlines CEO
American Airlines pilots say the company's CEO is making his case for remaining an independent airline, but the union still wants a merger with US Airways.
The union says its board will invite US Airways' top two executives to visit next week.
AMR/American Airlines chairman and CEO Tom Horton went behind closed doors with the Allied Pilots Association
CEO Thomas Horton met for three hours on Thursday with directors of the Allied Pilots Association.
Union spokesman Dennis Tajer said that Horton detailed his plan for American's parent company, AMR Corp., to emerge from bankruptcy protection on its own. He said the union board considered Horton's comments but still thinks a merger is better for pilots and the company.
Tajer said the union invited US Airways CEO Doug Parker and President Scott Kirby to a meeting next week. US Airways declined to comment.
American's pilots will own 13.5 percent of AMR after it emerges from bankruptcy under a contract that they ratified last week, and this week they joined private talks designed to help creditors weigh American's go-it-alone plan against US Airways' merger proposal.
Mike Trevino, a spokesman for American, said in an emailed statement that AMR used Thursday's meeting to thank union leaders for supporting the contract that pilots ratified. He said Horton and other company officials also went to "discuss the next steps in our evaluation of strategic alternatives and exchange information and thoughts about how to continue the positive momentum we are creating for our people and our customers."

Pilot Union Reaches Agreement With American Airlines
The pilots union at American Airlines has agreed to put up for a vote a five-year contract proposal that would boost pay by more than 26% and offer smaller raises in later years. The board of the Allied Pilots Association agreed to accept the basic terms of the deal just before the midnight deadline late Saturday, before the offer was pulled and negotiations moved to arbitration. The proposal's language must be completed and voted on by pilots, according to a statement on the union's website. 'Our goal was to conclude negotiations promptly and deliver the best possible result for our pilots,' the statement said. American Airlines Group Inc., based in Fort Worth, Texas, is pushing to reach agreements with its labor unions as part of its 14-month effort to combine operations with merger part... -
USA: PRESIDENT CLINTON BLOCKS AMERICAN AIRLINES PILOTS STRIKE
English/Nat President Clinton has blocked an American Airlines pilots strike Saturday morning, ordering a 60-day "cooling off" period just minutes after union leaders ordered a walkout that would have shut down the nation's largest domestic airline. Clinton took the action just after union leaders threatened to shut down the airline, a move that would have stranded up to 40- thousand travellers. Any strike had expected to cost the airline up to 100 (m) million U-S dollars a day and force layoffs of 90-thousand airline workers. Whether pilots like it or not, American Airlines is back in business. The pilots hoped to be flying again with improved salaries, with stock options and with better conditions with regional routes. But instead they're back at square one, still ... -
USA: NO PROGRESS IN CONTRACT TALKS WITH AMERICAN AIRLINES PILOTS
English/Nat A spokesman for pilots of American Airlines says there has been no progress in contract talks Friday in Washington D-C. The airline and its pilots' union have failed to cut a deal despite non-stop contract talks over the last two days. Both sides say they're still negotiating and hope to end a countdown toward a Friday midnight strike deadline. U-S officials say a walkout by pilots could cost the airline 200 (m) million dollars a day and leave 40-thousand passengers stranded. American Airlines' jets were taking off at airports around the U-S Friday. But it was far from a normal day for the airline. Two years of bitter negotiations with the Allied Pilots Association, the union representing American pilots, has failed to produce a new contract. That... -

American Airlines Group Inc.’s pilots union criticized the company for a toxic work environment, breach of contracts and poor service. The Allied Pilots Association sent a letter to American CEO Doug Parker Friday saying that the company "deliberately” violated contract terms and agreements with workers and broke aviation regulations set by the federal government on crew scheduling, air operations and labor relations. The letter also said that the American Airlines product was "embarrassing" and that many customers have complained to staff about the conditions. The APA said "The pilots of American Airlines will not remain silent as we witness the rebirth of the toxic culture we fought so hard to eradicate." Company spokesman Casey Norton said that American executives are aware of the issues and that they must take better care of employees and customers.

By D.R. STEWART World Staff Writer
American Airlines and its unionized pilots disagree on the causes of flight delays and cancellations that led the bankrupt carrier Thursday to shrink the rest of its September and October schedules by up to 2 percent.
The Allied Pilots Association, which represents 10,000 American pilots, said there is "no job action of any sort that is organized, supported or sanctioned by the Allied Pilots Association," and the increase in flight delays and cancellations is due to American's mismanagement of aircraft maintenance and crew resources.
American management says flight disruptions are the result of escalated mechanical write-ups by pilots and high rates of sick time taken by pilots.
"We are confident in the causes of the recent operational challenges of flight cancellations and delays," said American spokesman Bruce Hicks. "Prior to the recent issues, American had been running a good operation, with on-time performance and reliability measures at their best levels in many years. The recent disruptions are primarily due to the significant increase in maintenance write-ups by our pilots, many right at the time of departure.
"Additionally, continued higher-than-normal sick usage by pilots, which has been up more than 20 percent year over year and has been elevated for months, impacts the availability of reserve pilots, which can ultimately lead to cancellations. Our pilot staffing - without the recent actions regarding maintenance write-ups and the continued increase in sick time - is adequate to meet our scheduling needs and recalling pilots from furlough would not be needed."
In August, APA members rejected American's final contract offer, and two weeks ago U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Sean Lane granted American's motion to nullify its collective bargaining agreement with the APA.
Fort Worth-based American canceled about 300 flights out of nearly 24,000 departures scheduled across its network this week.
Spokesmen for the APA said the union independently tracks American's operational performance and has verified that pilot sick rates are unchanged from historical rates.
"One area of increased operational unreliability we have observed is in mechanical delays, which isn't surprising," APA said. "Although American Airlines operates the oldest fleet of any major U.S. carrier, management has decided to furlough a large number of mechanics and close one of its largest maintenance facilities. Management also decided some time ago to reduce its inventory of spare parts.
"In addition, management halted the recalls of furloughed pilots late last year, which has resulted in an insufficient number of pilots to maintain the schedule properly."
The pilots' allegations of aircraft maintenance issues were supported in bankruptcy documents filed this week by U.S. Bank, the agent for holders of $450 million in American Airlines bonds.
U.S. Bank said American has neglected its planes, failing to make hundreds of repairs. As a result, the value of the planes is deteriorating and may not cover the bonds, the bank said in documents filed in U.S. Bankruptcy Court.
Hicks said American mechanics have worked hard to return aircraft to scheduled flying. The airline's inventory of spare parts is at the highest level in years, he said.
"American has taken significant steps to try to limit the impact on our customers," Hicks said. "We have carefully selected some 300 flights this week to pre-cancel to allow us to re-accommodate passengers in advance. ... In addition, we have increased staffing in all other areas to assist in re-accommodating customers and are reaching out to customers proactively to notify them of the options available and the ability to standby for earlier flights at no charge.
"(W)e apologize to all of our customers for the inconvenience this has caused. We understand how irritating and unfortunate this is in interrupting and delaying their travel plans.
"We appreciate their patience and hope for their understanding."

English/Nat
President Clinton has blocked an American Airlines pilots strike Saturday morning, ordering a 60-day "cooling off" period just minutes after union leaders ordered a walkout that would have shut down the nation's largest domestic airline.
Clinton took the action just after union leaders threatened to shut down the airline, a move that would have stranded up to 40- thousand travellers.
Any strike had expected to cost the airline up to 100 (m) million U-S dollars a day and force layoffs of 90-thousand airline workers.
Whether pilots like it or not, American Airlines is back in business.
The pilots hoped to be flying again with improved salaries, with stock options and with better conditions with regional routes.
But instead they're back at square one, still holding out for their demands while ordered to do their job.
For the first time in 30 years, a presidential emergency board was called in for an aviation case.
This means no negotiations for at least 60 days.
In the meantime, American Airlines is back in business flying passengers around the world.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"The Allied Pilots Association rejected the mediators final hypothetical settlement. That is very unfortunate. We were very disappointed in it. It is the settlement as we understood it that the company would have been prepared to accept. Nonetheless what is done is done. If there is any silvery lining to the clouds, it's the airline is operating and we're delighted it's operating. We're delighted that it's gonna continue to operate."
SUPER CAPTION: Robert Crandall, American Airlines President
While the airline is pleased that flights will continue as scheduled, the company President is disappointed that the pilots and the corporation still have unsettled differences.
For passengers, the next couple of months means good news with cheaper flights and better deals.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"Obviously we're gonna go about business as one celebrating we're still in business and two maintain those seats are full up because we'll have seats on sale tomorrow morning, we'll have double mileage awards and we'll have a lot of promotional activities, so we'll get some of that business back. And we're pretty good at anticipating how much we'll get back."
SUPER CAPTION: Robert Crandall, American Airlines President
After the chaos of the on again, off again strike, the head of the pilots' union entered a news conference upset over the end result.
As the union president described the activities of early Saturday morning in Washington DC, he remained disappointed that the U-S President suddenly stepped in and blocked what was their bargaining chip.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"That at one minute after minute tonight I directed our strike chairman to my right, Matthew Field, to shut down American Airlines. They executed the order and they were shutdown for approximately 24 minutes until we received confirmation from the White House that a presidential emergency board had been declared and established. We will always comply with federal law. We then passed onto all of our strike centres to go back to status quo. Pilots are back doing their jobs, their back flying the aircraft, doing it again, the finest pilots we think for the finest airline in the world."
SUPER CAPTION: Captain Jim Sovich, Allied Pilots Association Union President
The executive order by President Bill Clinton means the next 60 days will be a "cooling off" period for pilots and the airline.
During that time a 3 member mediation board will examine the issues and make recommendations.

English/Nat
A spokesman for pilots of American Airlines says there has been no progress in contract talks Friday in Washington D-C.
The airline and its pilots' union have failed to cut a deal despite non-stop contract talks over the last two days.
Both sides say they're still negotiating and hope to end a countdown toward a Friday midnight strike deadline.
U-S officials say a walkout by pilots could cost the airline 200 (m) million dollars a day and leave 40-thousand passengers stranded.
American Airlines' jets were taking off at airports around the U-S Friday.
But it was far from a normal day for the airline.
Two years of bitter negotiations with the Allied Pilots Association, the union representing American pilots, has failed to produce a new contract.
That failure has brought the airline to the brink of a shutdown.
Both sides have been talking around the clock, through mediators.
But by midday Friday, pilots with the union said the outlook for an agreement was grim.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"I can't really say that I'm optimistic at this point. After two and a half years of bargaining, it's unfortunate that we have brought it to this point."
SUPER CAPTION: Captain David Bates, Allied Pilots Association spokesman
A major sticking point in the talks is the union demand that its pilots fly new regional jet routes.
But American says that would be too costly. It wants lower-paid pilots, from a subsidiary firm that fly its current communter planes, to fly new commuter jet routes.
On that key issue, American pilots say, there is no movement.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"We are very disappointed at this point that they have not countered our proposal for the regional jets, and at this time we are not negotiating that proposal."
SUPER CAPTION: Captain David Bates, Allied Pilots Association spokesman
In Washington D-C and around the nation, passengers arriving for American flights were showing their frustration over the labour dispute.
Some say the airline is to blame.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"I think it's a shame, you know. I think the airline should just cave and pay them the extra money. 200-thousand people travelling on American Airlines, stranded - give me a break. Just cave in and pay the extra couple of thousand a year, I'm sure they're losing millions."
SUPER CAPTION: Doug Terrece, American Airlines passenger
Other passengers handled the possibility of cancellation and aggravation by coming to the airport prepared for the worst.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"Nothing. I have a back-up ticket just in case this one gets cancelled, either going or coming. It's fully refundable."
SUPER CAPTION: Linda DeCarlo, American Airlines passenger
An airline researcher talking to travellers said American passengers in particular were nervous about the prospect of a shutdown.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"Well, they're not very happy and they're anxious to get to their destinations, but business has not been as brisk as usual."
SUPER CAPTION: Annette Day, market researcher, Shugall Research
American has cancelled some 90 overseas flights and at least a dozen domestic flights.
Officials at the airline admit there will be some inconvenience to passengers, even without a strike.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"Well, there again we will be booking... rebooking customers on the first available seats which will obviously cost them maybe some changes in their travel plans, but we are accommodating as best we can."
SUPER CAPTION: Dale Morris, Government Affairs Manager, American Airlines
American handles about 20 percent of U-S air traffic, and officials at the airline also admit the stakes are high for both sides if a shutdown occurs.

http://tub3.net/xvideos/ For Live Report Pilots' union meets with American Airlines CEO
American Airlines pilots say the company's CEO is making his case for remaining an independent airline, but the union still wants a merger with US Airways.
The union says its board will invite US Airways' top two executives to visit next week.
AMR/American Airlines chairman and CEO Tom Horton went behind closed doors with the Allied Pilots Association
CEO Thomas Horton met for three hours on Thursday with directors of the Allied Pilots Association.
Union spokesman Dennis Tajer said that Horton detailed his plan for American's parent company, AMR Corp., to emerge from bankruptcy protection on its own. He said the union board considered Horton's comments but still thinks a merger is better for pilots and the company.
Tajer said the union invited US Airways CEO Doug Parker and President Scott Kirby to a meeting next week. US Airways declined to comment.
American's pilots will own 13.5 percent of AMR after it emerges from bankruptcy under a contract that they ratified last week, and this week they joined private talks designed to help creditors weigh American's go-it-alone plan against US Airways' merger proposal.
Mike Trevino, a spokesman for American, said in an emailed statement that AMR used Thursday's meeting to thank union leaders for supporting the contract that pilots ratified. He said Horton and other company officials also went to "discuss the next steps in our evaluation of strategic alternatives and exchange information and thoughts about how to continue the positive momentum we are creating for our people and our customers."

Washington, DC, May 8, 2015—Seventy years after Allied forces won the world’s freedom in Europe, 56 vintage World War II airplanes celebrated Victory in Europe Day in a tremendous display of airpower and history before a crowd of thousands gathered along the National Mall in Washington, DC.
The Arsenal of Democracy: World War II Victory Capitol Flyover included aircraft flying in 15 historically sequenced formations that represented the major battles of the war, starting with Pearl Harbor and ending with a missing man formation led by Congressman Sam Graves (R-MO) in a TBM Avenger, the same model of airplane former President George H.W. Bush flew when he was shot down overseas.
Under a nearly perfect sky, the event honored the men and women who flew and fought in the war, and those at home who manufactured the planes, ships, and tanks that allowed the Allies to secure victory. Among those in attendance for the historic flyover were more than 400 veterans of World War II, drawn to both the commemoration of VE Day and the unprecedented display of vintage military aircraft. For many, it was the first time they had seen these types of airplanes since they saw them over the skies of Europe and the Pacific more than seven decades ago.
The planes flew at 1,000 feet, making them easily visible to onlookers from the ground. A live webcast provided narration about the planes and their role in the battles to Americans across the country. All of the airplanes returned successfully to either Manassas or Culpeper Regional Airport except for one that made a precautionary landing at Reagan National Airport.
The Flyover was months in the planning, with many Federal government agencies providing key support. They included the Federal Aviation Administration, the Transportation Security Administration, the National Park Service, the U.S. Capitol Police, and the U.S. Secret Service.
“We are thrilled that today’s flights went extremely well and, most importantly, safely,” said the Arsenal of Democracy Flyover Executive Committee, which includes Stephan C. Brown, President and CEO of the Commemorative Air Force (CAF); Pete Bunce, President and CEO of theGeneral Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA); John Cudahy, President of the International Council of Air Shows (ICAS); Paul Rinaldi, President of the National Air Traffic Controllers Association (NATCA); and Doug Rozendaal of the Texas Flying Legends Museum.
“The owners, pilots, and crew of these aircraft demonstrated an extremely high level of professionalism at every instance, and we thank them, our government partners, our Honorary Co-Chairs, our Honorary Congressional Committee, and especially our sponsors for making today’s event possible. Everyone worked together with the one goal of honoring our nation’s heroes. We hope this unforgettable experience was as meaningful to them as it has been for us.”
Former President George H.W. Bush, former Senator Bob Dole, and former Congressman John Dingell are the Honorary Co-Chairs of the Flyover. The Honorary Congressional Committee Co- Chairs are Senator James Inhofe and Congressman Sam Graves.
Sponsors for the Flyover have generously made this event possible. Exclusive Formation sponsors are Honeywell Aerospace and Northrop Grumman. GE Aviation and Triumph Group, Inc. are Formation Wingmen sponsors. Air & Space magazine/Smithsonian is the Media Partner. ATP (in honor of 14th Air Force Captain William L. Daniels), the Conrad N.

Washington, DC, May 8, 2015—Seventy years after Allied forces won the world’s freedom in Europe, 56 vintage World War II airplanes celebrated Victory in Europe Day in a tremendous display of airpower and history before a crowd of thousands gathered along the National Mall in Washington, DC.
The Arsenal of Democracy: World War II Victory Capitol Flyover included aircraft flying in 15 historically sequenced formations that represented the major battles of the war, starting with Pearl Harbor and ending with a missing man formation led by Congressman Sam Graves (R-MO) in a TBM Avenger, the same model of airplane former President George H.W. Bush flew when he was shot down overseas.
Under a nearly perfect sky, the event honored the men and women who flew and fought in the war, and those at home who manufactured the planes, ships, and tanks that allowed the Allies to secure victory. Among those in attendance for the historic flyover were more than 400 veterans of World War II, drawn to both the commemoration of VE Day and the unprecedented display of vintage military aircraft. For many, it was the first time they had seen these types of airplanes since they saw them over the skies of Europe and the Pacific more than seven decades ago.
The planes flew at 1,000 feet, making them easily visible to onlookers from the ground. A live webcast provided narration about the planes and their role in the battles to Americans across the country. All of the airplanes returned successfully to either Manassas or Culpeper Regional Airport except for one that made a precautionary landing at Reagan National Airport.
The Flyover was months in the planning, with many Federal government agencies providing key support. They included the Federal Aviation Administration, the Transportation Security Administration, the National Park Service, the U.S. Capitol Police, and the U.S. Secret Service.
“We are thrilled that today’s flights went extremely well and, most importantly, safely,” said the Arsenal of Democracy Flyover Executive Committee, which includes Stephan C. Brown, President and CEO of the Commemorative Air Force (CAF); Pete Bunce, President and CEO of theGeneral Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA); John Cudahy, President of the International Council of Air Shows (ICAS); Paul Rinaldi, President of the National Air Traffic Controllers Association (NATCA); and Doug Rozendaal of the Texas Flying Legends Museum.
“The owners, pilots, and crew of these aircraft demonstrated an extremely high level of professionalism at every instance, and we thank them, our government partners, our Honorary Co-Chairs, our Honorary Congressional Committee, and especially our sponsors for making today’s event possible. Everyone worked together with the one goal of honoring our nation’s heroes. We hope this unforgettable experience was as meaningful to them as it has been for us.”
Former President George H.W. Bush, former Senator Bob Dole, and former Congressman John Dingell are the Honorary Co-Chairs of the Flyover. The Honorary Congressional Committee Co- Chairs are Senator James Inhofe and Congressman Sam Graves.
Sponsors for the Flyover have generously made this event possible. Exclusive Formation sponsors are Honeywell Aerospace and Northrop Grumman. GE Aviation and Triumph Group, Inc. are Formation Wingmen sponsors. Air & Space magazine/Smithsonian is the Media Partner. ATP (in honor of 14th Air Force Captain William L. Daniels), the Conrad N.

his is the most comprehensive history series ever produced on the Fighter Aces of World War II, featuring amazing air combat footage and first hand accounts of the greatest air battles the world has ever known.Each episode includes extraordinary air combat footage shot at the height of raging dogfights. Surviving Fighter Aces from all sides of the conflict -- from Japan, Germany, Britain, Russia, Canada, Australia and the United States -- provide vivid and graphic first hand accounts of what it was really like to be a fighter pilot in some of the greatest air battles the world has ever known.
Episode 101: Knights in the Sky
A galaxy of international aces are seen in aerial combat as a series prelude. They describe the qualities great aces must have, and recall a heritage that begins with chivalrous fighter duels of World War I and ends when Luftwaffe pilots hone their skills in Spain during the bloody dress rehearsal for World War II.
Episode 102: Defending the Realm
The German blitzkreig by the invincible Luftwaffe crushes Poland, France, Denmark and Norway- but a handful of fighter pilots saves the Empire during the Battle of Britain.
Episode 103: Red Star Rising
The Soviet Air Force is all but wiped out by the Luftwaffe- but recovers to fight the invader to a standstill in the most atrocious winter ever encountered.
Episode 104: Tigers Over China
New fighter aces are born with the emergence of the Flying Tigers. They were the first all volunteer American force to battle the Japanese in the Chinese sky.
Episode 105: Hell in the Pacific
Americans are outnumbered everywhere, but turn the tide at Midway. The ragged Cactus Air Force on Guadalcanal battles against odds over the bitterly contested South Pacific.
Episode 106: Under All Flags
Some of the deadliest Allied aces of the war emerge from International squadrons of the Royal Air Force. Their own nations crushed under the iron heel of a conqueror, desperate and determined men make perilous journeys to England and continue the fight in the skies over occupied England.
Episode 107: Big Friend, Little Friend
Now equipped with long-range fighters, American aces wage a war deep in the heart of the Reich while escorting heavy bombers to distant targets. Goring sees P-51s over Europe and admits the war is lost.
Episode 108: Struggle for Supremacy
From the first to the last, nations frantically seek to give their fighter pilots the winning edge in planes, engines, guns and tactics in combat by day and by night. The Germans shock the Allies when they win the race for committing jet and rocket fighters to the battle- a race won too late.
Episode 109: Assault on Fortress Europe
The Allies take the offensive as the tide of war turns against the Axis in the Mediterranean and in Europe. The fury of war in the air takes a heavy toll on attacker and defender alike but the undermanned and outgunned Luftwaffe is defiant in the face of certain defeat.
Episode 110: Closing the Ring
Marine valor paves the way for the aerial assault on Japan. During the relentless march westward, the rivalry heats up between top aces Dick Bong and Tom McGuire, and Admiral Yamamoto is the victim of aerial assassination.
Episode 111: Fall of the Third Reich
The final aerial battles between Soviet and German fighter pilots. Russian aircraft now equal those flown by the Luftwaffe, whose pilots face incursion from the east as well as the west. The top Russian ace reaches 62 kills, the top German ace is credited with 352.
Episode 112: Victory in the Pacific
After the Great Marianas Turkey shoot, Japanese airpower declines as American fighter pilots in the Pacific reach the zenith of their deadly profession. The final fighter pilot kill of the war is over Japan.
Episode 113: Reflections on War
In this final episode, victors of aerial duels in the skies of every theater of war reach inside memories etched in steel for the skills and relentless purpose that elevated them to the ranks of the great aces.

The New York Air National Guard's 174th Attack Wing conducted the unit's first operation of an MQ-9 Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) on the ramp of Hancock Field International Airport. The 174th welcomed members of the news media to view the operation and speak with wing commander Col. Greg Semmel about future MQ-9 flights in Central New York. Following Col. Semmel's remarks the 174th performed its first taxi of the MQ-9 Reaper on Hancock Field. The Commander of the New York Air National Guard, Major General Johnston, also spoke to members of the media about the 174th mission and it's impact on the Central New York area. General Johnston is responsible for the readiness of five New York Air Wings and the Eastern Air Defense. Currently, all flight operations of the MQ-9 aircraft are conducted at Wheeler Sack Army Airfield at Fort Drum. The taxi operation in Syracuse is one further step towards the launch and recovery of MQ-9 aircraft at Hancock Field. The FAA modified airspace around Hancock Field in 2013 to expand available training areas and provide transition from high altitude down to Hancock Field. It is expected that the FAA will ultimately approve for the departure and return of MQ-9 aircraft from Hancock Field to fly to Fort Drum or transition to the area's restricted airspace for military training. The 174th Attack Wing was established in 1947 as the first Air National Guard flying unit in New York State. It currently flies the MQ-9 Reaper Remotely Piloted Aircraft in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. The wing also trains all MQ-9 maintenance technicians for the Air Force, Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve as well as training some personnel from allied nations. The wing also conducts qualification training for MQ-9 pilots and sensor operators at Hancock Field Air National Guard Base and Fort Drum, operating out of Wheeler-Sack Army Airfield. At the same time the wing deploys members oversees to support MQ-9 operations and other Air Force commitments and operates MQ-9s in the Central Command area of operations from a facility at Hancock Field Air National Guard Base. The wing also maintains the air-to-ground gunnery range at Fort Drum which is used by Air Force, Air Guard and Air Force Reserve units across the northeast and provides forces to respond to state emergencies at the direction of the governor.
