There has been little in the way of aviation news recently that would be of interest to anyone with a fear of flying.
The missing boeing 777 has been covered on my twitter and Facebook pages.

There are some interesting developments in Ultra Violet radar and flight control systems.
Radar is being developed that can measure the movement of air molecules ahead of the aircraft.
