Drawing Winners

It's time -- past time, actually -- for some free shirt giveaways. Since it's been more than a month since our last, we're going to pull TWO lucky winners out of the helmet this time (emails obscured to protect the innocent):

AMAZINGLY LUCKY WINNER NUMBER 00001:
archer873@xxxxxxxx.com.au

SHOCKINGLY LUCKY WINNER NUMBER 00002:
Sillylillydog@xxxxxxxx.ca

We've also sent emails to these amazingly, shockingly lucky individuals. All they have to do is tell us which shirt they want, and where they want it sent.

Meanwhile, condolences to all of you who didn't win. We won't say, "lost". "Winning-challenged", how about that? And unfortunately, this drawing was the last chance, as we're going to stop doing these freebies. For a while, at least. Thanks for playing!

P.S. We're putting the kibosh on this promotion because we're starting another one. It will only be available to our email newsletter subscribers, though, so you might want to make sure that you're signed up for that! The sign-up blank is over there in the right-hand sidebar. (If you're not sure if you're already subscribed, just sign up anyway; our email system will make sure you're only on the list once.)

New Shirt: Aircraft ID Chart

At long last, and as a belated April Fool's gift to you and yours, here's our latest & greatest! (There wasn't room on the product page for the full text of the Act, but it's included here for reference.)




49 U.S.C. subtitle IX--ch. 701, sections 70101-70121, (the Act) provides for the Department to grudgingly tolerate and reluctantly accept civilian assistance in identifying airborne objects which by performance, aerodynamic characteristics, or unusual features, do not conform to any presently known aircraft or missile type, or which cannot be positively identified as a familiar object.

Further, the Act may impose civil penalties if a person is found to have violated a requirement of the Act, a regulation issued under the Act, or any term or condition of the Act. This rulemaking partly consolidates parts 405 and 406 into one part, part 406. To that end, Sec. 405.7 is removed and new Sec. 406.9 is added. Section 406.117 provides for non-disclosure of certain information. This subpart is based largely on 14 CFR part 13 subpart G, under which certain civil penalty cases are adjudicated by the Department. The Act prohibits public disclosure of information that qualifies for an exemption under 5 U.S.C. 5521(b)(4)(ii) or information that is designated as confidential by the person or head of the executive agency providing the information, unless the Department decides that withholding the information is contrary to the public or national interest. All authority under the Act has been delegated to the Administrator. Under section 413.17, these mandated amendments are being adopted as the final rule without prior notice or prior public comment.
