THE RP’s BREAKING NEWS: The Politics of Jet Airliners

Hawker Beechcraft, one of the nation’s largest producers of personal jets and other aircraft, announced that it was hiring a turnaround specialist as its new CEO. Normally this story would not make its way past business pages, although Hawker Beechcraft is a major economic force in the Midwest. The new CEO, however, is named Steve Miller, and the Steve Miller Band is of course known for the song “Jet Airliner.” (You can watch its appearance in a great West Wing scene here.) [Wichita Eagle]
