Training aircraft crash-lands at Baramati airport after bird hit
A training aircraft of Redbird Flight Training Academy crash-landed at Baramati airport at around 8am on Saturday following a suspected bird-hit incident, said police officials, adding that no injuries were reported. The aircraft made an emergency landing on the airstrip, which falls under the Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC) and used by Redbird for training operations. Rathod said the pilot's quick response prevented injuries and further damage. (HT PHOTO) Darshan Rathod, deputy superintendent of police (Baramati division), said the trainee pilot was flying solo when the crash occurred. 'The pilot reported that a bird appeared in front of the aircraft during landing, causing the front wheel to get damaged and bent on touchdown. This led the aircraft to veer off the taxiway to the other side of the airport. The front wheel eventually came off due to the damage,' he said. The aircraft made an emergency landing on the airstrip, which falls under the Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC) and used by Redbird for training operations. Rathod said the pilot's quick response prevented injuries and further damage. Preliminary findings suggest a technical failure, possibly due to the damaged tyre, as the immediate cause of the incident, officials said. Sandeep Gill, superintendent of police, Pune rural, said, 'A probe has been ordered to determine the exact cause of Saturday's crash.' This is the latest in a series of accidents involving Redbird's fleet in Baramati. On October 19, 2023, a Tecnam P2008 aircraft (VT-RBT) experienced engine trouble and crash-landed near Katfal village. Three days later, on October 22, another Tecnam P2008 from the academy crash-landed near Gojubavi village during an emergency landing, injuring the instructor and trainee pilot. Earlier, on September 20, 2021, a Tecnam P2008JC (VT-RBE) overshot the runway at Baramati airport during a solo circuit and landing, causing major damage but no injuries. Other flying schools in Baramati have also reported mishaps. On February 5, 2019, a Cessna 172S (VT-RDX) operated by Carver Aviation crashed after running out of fuel during a solo cross-country training flight, seriously injuring the pilot. Concerns over such incidents led to a complaint to minister of state for civil aviation Murlidhar Mohol on August 2, 2025, urging the Centre to frame stricter safety norms for flight training academies. Following a spate of five accidents in six months, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) had suspended Redbird's flight training operations at all six of its bases in October 2023 to enforce safety improvements. The Delhi-based institute, operational since 2017, runs bases at Baramati in Pune district, Lilabari in Assam, Gulbarga and Belgaum in Karnataka, Seoni in Madhya Pradesh, and Colombo in Sri Lanka. Redbird did not respond to requests for comment.

RM Sotheby's to Auction One-of-One RUF CTR1 'Redbird'
Summary RM Sotheby'sis set to offer one of the rarestRUF-built machines ever produced: the 1989 CTR1 Lightweight 'Redbird.' Estimated to fetch as much as $5,000,000 USD, this exceptional example is one of only six Lightweights built and the only one finished in a bespoke Bordeaux Red paint-to-sample color. It was originally commissioned by a German doctor in direct consultation with Alois Ruf and later used personally by Ruf himself. Known for outpacing theFerrari F40andPorsche 959, the CTR1 rose to global fame in the late '80s, cemented by its 211-mph top speed and viral Nürburgring driving footage. Lightweight variants like Redbird shaved off mass with aluminum panels, Clubsport seats and minimal creature comforts, though this car added unique luxuries like power windows, custom telemetry and heated glass. A Pfaffenhausen hood badge, chrome trim and silver-finished wheels further set this one-off apart. With fewer than 19,000 kms (roughly 11,745 miles) on the odometer, Redbird boasts a rich provenance, complete with a matching-numbers twin-turbo 3.4L flat-six, extensive documentation and a trail of notable European collectors. It was upgraded over time by RUF with a G50 transaxle and a refined braking system. Offered now from a prominent American collection, this CTR1 Lightweight is not only among the rarest RUFs ever made but also one of the most tastefully customized, making it a special opportunity for collectors of analog performance icons. Bidding for the Redbird kicks off on August 16 as part of RM Sotheby'sMonterey Sale.

By Aman Shukla Published on August 4, 2025, 19:30 IST Last updated August 4, 2025, 13:33 IST Buckle up, Motorheads fans! The high-octane teen drama that roared onto Prime Video in May 2025 left everyone craving more after its cliffhanger-packed Season 1 finale, 'Redbird.' With street racing, family secrets, and small-town vibes fueling the story, anticipation for Motorheads Season 2 is revving up. Here's the latest scoop on the release date, cast and what to expect from this adrenaline-charged series. Is Motorheads Season 2 Happening? Release Date Rumors As of August 2025, Prime Video hasn't officially greenlit Motorheads Season 2, but there's plenty of reason to stay hopeful. The show's creator, John A. Norris, dropped a major hint on X, responding to a fan with, 'Season two is written,' signaling that scripts are ready to roll if the streaming giant gives the go-ahead. The series has been a hit, climbing Prime Video's U.S. TV charts, topping the list on May 22 and 23, 2025, and holding strong in the top 10 since its debut. With a 92% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, fan love is undeniable. If renewed, production timelines for similar Prime Video shows point to a possible release in late 2026 or early 2027. Filming for Season 1 took place from March to July 2024 in Toronto, Canada, despite delays from the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike. A similar schedule could mean fans won't wait too long for more Motorheads action, assuming renewal news drops soon. Keep those engines warm and eyes peeled for updates Motorheads Season 2 Cast: Who's Returning? The core cast of Motorheads brought heart and grit to the Rust Belt town of Ironwood, Pennsylvania, and most are expected to return if Season 2 gets the green light. Here's who's likely to be back behind the wheel: Michael Cimino as Zac Torres, the street-racing teen unraveling his father's mysterious disappearance. Melissa Collazo as Caitlyn Torres, Zac's car-loving twin sister who's ready to take on street racing herself. Ryan Phillippe as Logan Maddox, the former NASCAR driver and auto shop owner with shady ties. Nathalie Kelley as Samantha, Zac and Caitlyn's mom navigating her past in Ironwood. Nicolas Cantu as Marcel, the nerdy neighbor and loyal friend to the twins. Uriah Shelton as Curtis, the young mechanic and Caitlyn's love interest. Josh Macqueen as Harris, the rival racer whose fate hangs in the balance after a dramatic crash in the Season 1 finale. Mia Healey as Alicia Whitaker, caught in a complex web with Zac and Harris. Drake Rodger as Ray, Curtis' older brother, and Johnna Dias-Watson as Kiara Gibbons, Caitlyn's schoolmate with unexplored romantic tension, may also return in recurring roles. New faces could join the lineup, as Season 1 added recurring players like Matt Lanter and Sophia Esperanza during production. Any casting updates will likely tie into the evolving storylines, especially with new secrets about the Maddox family waiting to be uncovered. Motorheads Season 2 Plot: What's Next for Ironwood? Motorheads Season 1 floored fans with its mix of heart-pounding races, coming-of-age drama, and a mystery surrounding Christian Maddox's disappearance 17 years ago. The finale left jaws on the floor with a car crash involving Harris and a chilling hint about Christian's fate, setting up juicy plot threads for Season 2. Here's what the next chapter might explore: Zac's Betrayal and Consequences : Zac's involvement in a car heist shocked Alicia, leaving their budding romance on shaky ground. Will she confront him or turn him in? Michael Cimino teased that Zac's choices will change him, impacting his relationships with Alicia and others. Caitlyn's Racing Journey : Caitlyn helped rebuild her dad's old car in Season 1, and Melissa Collazo hinted at her character hitting the streets as a racer. A sibling rivalry with Zac could heat things up, adding a fun dynamic to their bond. Harris' Fate : The Season 1 cliffhanger left Harris' survival uncertain after his crash. Josh Macqueen suggested Harris' obsession with beating Zac led to his downfall, but if he returns, he might rethink his priorities. The Maddox Family Mystery : The search for answers about Christian Maddox's disappearance will likely drive Season 2. Logan's shady deals and Samantha's past could reveal more about the bank heist and Ironwood's struggles. Alicia and Kiara's Arcs: Mia Healey hinted at a 'complicated' Season 2 for Alicia, torn between her history with Harris and her feelings for Zac. Meanwhile, Caitlyn and Kiara's chemistry could blossom into a deeper storyline, exploring Caitlyn's sexuality further. The show's strength lies in its balance of high-stakes racing and emotional depth, making the car world accessible even for non-gearheads. Expect Season 2 to dive deeper into Ironwood's financial woes, the teens' ambitions, and the messy ties binding the characters.

An L.A. chef just took home the James Beard Award for Best Chef: California
Jon Yao, the Taiwanese American chef behind Michelin-starred Kato in the Arts District, took home one of the top prizes at the James Beard Foundation Awards—the only nominee in Southern California to do so. The annual awards ceremony, which takes place in Chicago (almost) every year, recognizes excellence in restaurants, bars and food media, including books, broadcast media and journalism and is widely understood as the Oscars of the (American) food world. In 2016, Yao first opened Kato inside a West L.A. strip mall, and moving the restaurant to the Arts District in 2022. Immediately, the then-scrappy restaurant attracted the attention of critics for its uniquely Asian American spin on fine dining. Over the years, the self-taught chef has honed his craft and grown into one of the city's best restaurants, at least if you ask me. In 2022, Kato earned its first Michelin star; last year, the restaurant was named as 'one to watch' by the World's 50 Best Restaurants organization, which has yet to name any L.A. eatery to its prestigious annual list. 'The restaurant and the food we serve [at Kato], it's really a medium for storytelling. It's representative of a lot of immigrant stories,' Yao said in a backstage interview clip provided to media. 'There's a lot more restaurants like ours. It's not just ours. We're very proud to be part of that fabric.' Like last year, just one L.A. restaurant, bar or food media publication has taken home a national James Beard Award. In the spring, five other local restaurants, bars, bakeries and writers were nominated for various awards, including Long Beach's Gusto Bread for 'Outstanding Bakery' and Tobin Shea, bar director behind Redbird in Downtown L.A., for 'Outstanding Professional in Cocktail Service.' On Saturday, newly L.A. based writer and native Angeleno Jeff Gordinier also took home the MFK Fisher Distinguished Writing Award for 'The City that Rice Built,' a long-form piece featuring Charleston, South Carolina in Food & Wine. While Yao's restaurant is already a popular destination among wealthier, in-the-know local diners and tasting menu fans from far and wide, it's been a surprisingly easy reservation to book most days of the week, at least until now. If you haven't yet booked a table at Kato, now might be a good time to do that—before everyone else does.

General Hospital star Kate Mansi weds Matt McInnis in surprise ceremony
General Hospital star Kate Mansi married producer Matt McInnis in downtown LA on Saturday following an 11-month engagement. The 37-year-old bride and the 41-year-old groom surprised their 115 guests, who believed they were attending a long-delayed engagement party, with a full-blown wedding at cathedral-turned-restaurant Redbird. 'We wanted that eruption of joy, that moment where love just takes over the room,' Kate (born Katharine Morris) told People on Tuesday. 'The element of discovery was everything. The relief when the secret was out was unforgettable.'

Ark actor Thomas Dekker officiated the couple's nuptials which were also attended by Fluxx actress Shelley Hennig, Home Improvement alum Jonathan Taylor Thomas, Wonder Years alum Alley Mills, and The Rookie's Britt Robertson. It was Hennig who originally brought Kate and Matt together since they met at her birthday party 'a few years ago' before going Instagram official in 2023. During the vows, Mansi revealed: 'We put a hand on our own hearts and said, "I got you," then did the same to each other. We invited our community to join us in that vow — to support us and each other.' The Daytime Emmy winner added of their 'deeply personal' ceremony: 'The entire evening was meant to mirror our relationship - unexpected, full of humor, moving to its own rhythm, and rooted in deep connection.' The Toronto-born Canadian stated that he's 'never met a braver human being than Katie.' 'She inspires me. She makes everyone around her better by nurturing qualities in them which even they may not see at first,' McInnis gushed. 'Her ability to love with her whole heart and wide eyes is the greatest gift a person could ever receive.' The formerly long-distance pair added: 'Marriage to us is building [life] brick by brick with a partner who's truly all in.' Kate and Matt are already proud parents to 20-month-old Doodle siblings, Stanley and Georgie, whom they adopted in November 2023. McInnis is headed for London soon to begin producing a new project with Amazon MGM Studios. Mansi is the fourth actress to portray Kristina Davis in ABC soap opera General Hospital, who's the troubled daughter of mob boss Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and attorney Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn). The SoCal native previously played Abigail Deveraux in NBC soap opera Days of Our Lives from 2011-2016.
