We must regretfully report that 34-year-old Pilot/Photographer/Poet/Adventurer Natalie Gills lost her life in a Canadian-registered Piper PA-31 Navajo C, C-GKSI. Gillis was a truly lovely lady and an established adventurer who took up aviation and earned her ATP just a few weeks ago. Her photography has graced the cover of Canadian Geographic and her photo work with aviation was a positive effort for our community. Gulfstream was proud to announce that its G500 and G600 aircraft have hit the 100,000-hour mark across the global fleet only a few years after introduction. The first G500 made its way to customer hands in the fall of 2018, with the longer G600 seeing delivery in the summer of 2019. Astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams managed to hitch a ride aboard the Boeing Starship on June 5th, arriving at the International Space Station after some stressful equipment oddities, leaks, and failures - but they're on track to come home on June 26th. Maybe. All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne-Unlimited!!!
