Each Crusader system costs $23 million and, as witnessed by TIME during recent tests, it constitutes an amazing weapon. The three-man-crew compartment, lined with computer displays, looks more like the inside of a highflying jet cockpit than a mud-churning battlefield beast. Each system is actually two vehicles--the tracked business end topped with a turret and 155-mm gun, and a resupply vehicle carrying ammo and fuel. The gun's unique liquid-cooled barrel and automatic loading system allow it to fire 10 rounds a minute up to 25 miles, overwhelming the four-round, 18-mile range...
...Back in North Carolina, Marine officers said a "Mayday!" emergency call - with no further elaboration - was heard from the cockpit moments before the accident. The Osprey was heading back to base after a routine training flight from its base at the Marine Corps Air Station at New River, N.C. Witnesses to the crash heard the Osprey's engines powering up just before impact, which suggests the pilots realized they were in trouble and were trying to take corrective action...
...luxury two-story condo in Trump Tower than a boat. The Admiral came with a fully equipped kitchen, a large oval dining table that could comfortably seat eight, four private bedrooms, two bathrooms, central air conditioning, an outdoor barbecue grill, a large TV, VCR and CD player, and cockpit controls.

Then he suddenly ran to the front again and kicked in the flimsy cockpit door. He grabbed for the captain and first officer, who pushed him back. Three passengers blocked the door in case he rushed it again, while a flight attendant and another passenger walked him to an exit row in the plane's center, where three more passengers gathered around him, holding him down. "You're not going anywhere, buddy," one said. They asked him questions, trying to keep his mind off flying: Where are you from? Who are you visiting in Salt Lake City...
...France Flight 4590 taxied into position on Charles de Gaulle Airport's Runway 24, Captain Christian Marty's eyes would have carefully scanned the 1960s-era round gauges in the Concorde's cockpit for any signs that the No. 2 engine was acting up. He didn't need the engine's thrust reversers--which are used to slow the plane on landing--during takeoff, but Marty had ordered them repaired just before leaving the gate. The engine, on the left side, would bear watching. Marty and his co-pilot, Jean Marcot, and the flight engineer ran through the normal takeoff...
