DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) — More than $1.8 million in federal funds will go toward the Dayton International Airport.
Congressman Mike Turner announced that $1,812,000 has been awarded to the James M. Cox Dayton International Airport (DAY). This funding is provided through the FAA's Airport Improvement Program.
Funding will go toward refurbishing taxiway lighting at the Dayton Airport, as well as rehabilitate parts of the taxiway to minimize debris and to extend the life of the taxiway.

123Invent Inventor Develops App for On-Demand Aerial Drone Services (OCM-1739)
PITTSBURGH, June 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- "I wanted to create a mobile software application that could offer convenient and on-demand aerial drone photography and videography services using professional and FAA licensed drone pilots," said an inventor, from Orange, Calif., "so I invented the SLAVUM. My app design can be used by real estate companies, surveyors, film-makers, security, and other companies." The invention provides a software application that would have the potential to provide mobile device users with access to an on-demand drone services provider with a range of service options. In doing so, it would be similar to other well-known on-demand service apps such as ride sharing services. As a result, it could provide a range of on-demand aerial photography and videography services for real estate agencies, construction and landscape enterprises, engineering inspection enterprises, film-makers, security companies, consumer and business property owners, etc. Additionally, the invention features an innovative design that is easy to employ. The SLAVUM invention is currently available for licensing or sale to manufacturers or marketers.

Boeing stock plummets after Air India crash, dealing major setback as new leadership tries to rebuild trust
Boeing's shares fell 5% on Thursday after an Air India 787-8 Dreamliner jet crashed minutes after taking off, posing a major setback for the planemaker as its new CEO looks to rebuild trust following a series of safety and production challenges. All 242 people on board the London-bound plane were killed in the crash in the western city of Ahmedabad, authorities said, in the world's worst aviation disaster in a decade. It was not immediately clear what caused the crash. Boeing said in a statement it was aware of initial reports and was working to gather more information.

The widebody 787 planes, one of the most modern passenger aircraft in service, have never had a fatal crash until the Air India incident. They were grounded in 2013 due to battery issues, but no one was reported injured. Advertisement Boeing, however, has faced years of scrutiny and delays over its narrowbody 737 MAX jets, which were grounded for years following two fatal crashes. Last year, the US planemaker came under renewed scrutiny after a door plug blew off a 737 MAX 9 mid-flight, prompting a temporary FAA grounding and fresh concerns over quality control. 3 The fatal crash tarnishes the Dreamliner jet's safety record and muddies CEO Kelly Orthberg efforts to ramp up production as the airplane maker scored a flurry of new orders and hit production targets in May.

Air India crash puts spotlight on Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner safety and the company's recent troubles
The Air India plane crash on Thursday is putting a renewed spotlight on Boeing, the manufacturer of the 787-8 Dreamliner aircraft that crashed in the western Indian city of Ahmedabad with 242 passengers and crew on board. Boeing says the 787-8 is the aviation industry's "best-selling passenger widebody of all time," carrying more than one billion passengers since it was first delivered to airlines in 2011. "We are in contact with Air India regarding Flight 171 and stand ready to support them. Our thoughts are with the passengers, crew, first responders and all affected," Boeing said in a statement to CBS News. Shares of Boeing fell $15.34, or 7.2%, to $198.66 in pre-market trading. First crash of a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner The Air India incident represents the first crash of a 787-8 Dreamliner, although the aircraft has been involved in previous investigations. The Federal Aviation Administration last year ordered inspections of the cockpit seats on the Dreamliners after one of the jets went into a dive when the captain's seat lurched forward without warning and disconnected the plane's autopilot system, according to the Associated Press. Last year, a whistleblower's allegations prompted the FAA to investigate his claims about assembly defects in the company's 787 Dreamliner. Sam Salehpour, a Boeing quality engineer, said "he observed shortcuts taken by Boeing" during the assembly of the plane, "resulting in drilling debris left in interfaces and deformation of composite material," CBS News reported. He also claimed to have witnessed issues with the 777 assembly process, according to a letter sent by Salehpour's lawyers to the FAA last year. For now, it is unclear if those reported issues are linked in any way to the Air India crash. The Dreamliner in the Air India crash The aircraft involved in the Air India crash was first delivered to the airline in January 2014. It was on its way from the western Indian city of Ahmedabad to London's Gatwick airport when it crashed shortly after its departure. The plane had logged more than 41,000 hours of flying time, with almost 8,000 takeoffs and landings, according to Cirium, an aviation analytics firm. Air India operates 190 aircraft, with an average age of 8.4 years, Cirium said. There are more than 1,100 Dreamliners operating across the globe today, with the aircraft having been in operation for an average of 7.5 years, Cirium noted. Other Boeing safety issues The incident comes after a string of safety issues for Boeing, which has faced investigations and lawsuits for two crashes involving its 737 Max jetliners that killed a total of 346 people. In May, the aircraft manufacturer reached a $1.1 billion deal with the Department of Justice that allows it to avoid prosecution for the crashes, which occurred in 2018 and 2019. —With reporting by CBS News' Kathryn Krupnik and Kris Van Cleave
