US--REAL ID
Most airports are operating smoothly on the first day of the REAL ID requirement
SUMMARY: Most airports around the United States operated smoothly as new REAL ID requirements took effect because travelers without the updated document were still allowed to move through security easily. Those without the IDs were given flyers informing them that going forward they would need to present “REAL ID or other acceptable form of identification for your next flight or you may expect delays.” REAL ID requirements for those flying within the U.S. began Wednesday after more than 20 years of delays. Many airports reported security checkpoint wait times of a few minutes on their websites.

US--MARINE CORPS-HELICOPTER-CRASH
Weather and night vision goggles were likely factors in Marine Corps helicopter crash, report finds
SUMMARY: The crash of a Marine Corps helicopter last year that killed five service members was ultimately caused by pilot error. But the use of night vision goggles and unsafe flying conditions also likely were factors. That’s according to an investigation report obtained by The Associated Press. The CH-53 Super Stallion crashed on Feb. 6, 2024, during a late night flight when it hit a mountain near Pine Valley, California, on its way back to Marine Corps Air Station Miramar. The limits of night vision goggles also have been identified as a potential factor in the January collision of an Army Black Hawk helicopter and a passenger jet near Reagan Washington National Airport.
