"This is not an all-weather aircraft," a senior Air Force official said.

He was instrumental in the development of long range bombing and the development of the rigid airship as an efficient, high altitude, all-weather aircraft.

The Federal Aviation Administration will install all-weather aircraft detection systems at 14 busy airports, including the 3 biggest in the New York area, the agency said Wednesday.

The F3D was designed as a carrier-based all-weather aircraft and saw service with the United States Navy and United States Marine Corps.

The Local Area Augmentation System (LAAS) is an all-weather aircraft landing system based on real-time differential correction of the GPS signal.

The F-86s were replaced by the F-86L Sabre Interceptor, a day/night/all-weather aircraft designed to be integrated into the ADC SAGE interceptor direction and control system.

This requirement was exceptionally ambitious for the technology of the day, requiring a supersonic all-weather aircraft that could deliver nuclear weapons over a long range, operate at high level at Mach 2+ or low level at Mach 1.2, with STOL or possible VTOL performance.

Eielson AFB building projects resulting all or in part from Cope Thunder include a $23 million transient personnel facility, a $13 million Cope Thunder operations building, a $35 million air-to-air tracking system; eight two-bay all-weather aircraft shelters valued at $25 million, and a $2 million range microwave link.
