Most of the tug crews will wait anxiously for the now-empty barges to be rehitched so that they can set sail for Seattle. But for Kardonsky, the most experienced skipper in the fleet, a more savage task remains. The Cavalier has to tow one last load of equipment to Prudhoe Bay. The tug will return to Wainwright, hook up with a bargeload of pipes from Japan and once more swing east. Feeling the menacing bite of the chill September air, the crew will be praying harder than usual that the Arctic not mistake Kardonsky's nerve for defiance...

The FAA is allowing its control centers to accept only about 35% of the previous level of such aircraft, which normally account for about 44% of the controllers' total work load.

Contends a supervisor at California's Oakland radar center: "They've got too much damn military flying under...
With a full passenger load, a 767 can fly each of its 211 passengers 1,150 miles at a fuel-consumption rate equivalent to 69.9 m.p.g. By comparison, a 727-200 with 143 seats gets only 50 passenger-miles per gallon. The 767 also has new aerodynamic engineering, new engines and a state-of-the-art computerized flight control system. The aircraft, which has a range of up to 3,200 miles, is expected to be used on routes like Chicago-New York and Boston-Miami. The slightly smaller 757, which is designed for shorter routes, seats 178 people...
