DJI is taking its ‘Chinese Military Company’ label back to the Pentagon in hopes of regaining access to the US market. Judges decided just last month to uphold the DoD’s claims that the company is tied to the Chinese Communist Party despite dismissing much of the evidence. The ruling came in the form of a 49-page opinion that rejected most of the Defense Department’s accusations, including claims that DJI is owned by, controlled by, or directly affiliated with the Chinese Communist Party. An Emirates Boeing 747 cargo aircraft skidded off the runway after landing at Hong Kong International Airport (HKG/VHHH), crashed through a perimeter fence and collided with an airport security vehicle, and slid into the sea. Two people in the vehicle were killed and the aircraft ended up partially submerged just offshore. All this — and MORE in today’s episode of Airborne-Unlimited!!!
