At a London summit Jimmy Carter asserted U S leadership on Concorde flight decisions as a U S District Court ruling reinforced federal final say over local aviation actions. The decision could allow test flights from Europe to New York despite cost doubts and noise concerns. Opponents fear expansion plans, but proponents expect France and Britain to recover losses on potential profitable runs if noise is controlled. The Concorde is portrayed as both a sonic symbol and a financial flop.
The Greater Bennington Chamber of Commerce advances a plan for a new office and tourist information center north of Deer Park. It includes off road parking, visibility of the battle monument, and uses of Veterans Home grounds while aiding Mt Anthony Union High School programs and local bus service for students and visitors. The proposal also ties into ongoing road debates in Hoosick Falls and regional four lane plans in Burlington Colchester.
Charles G. Bennett recounts the 1791 visit of Thomas Jefferson and James Madison to Bennington during a northern horseback tour.

It cites sources like Hemenway’s Vermont Historical Gazetteer and Anthony Haswell’s Gazette, and previews a follow-up on the full accounts next week.
A Dorset veteran recalls flying the P61 Black Widow in the Pacific theater, meeting Lindbergh as he tested a new aircraft, and an infamous low pass that sucked a tent from sleeping aviators.
