The A 129 Mangusta ("Mongoose") was developed as a variant of the A109 series of helicopters. The newly design aircraft proved to be larger and so different than its predecessor that the system was designated as the A129 and considered an entirely new helicopter. Later classified as a medium attack helicopter with an armed reconnaissance role, the A129 became the principle attack helicopter for Italian armed forces.

Aside from its unorthodox neighborhood chain-restaurant tie-in, Hooters Air sought to differentiate itself from other carriers with a distinctive style of in-flight service. The carrier was marketed towards golfers in an effort to bring casual and tournament players to Myrtle Beach's 100+ championship golf courses. Two "Hooters Girls," dressed in their restaurant uniforms, were on each flight assisting the (traditionally attired) in-flight crews with hospitality duties. The airline ceased operations in 2006.

Captain Christopher Stricklin ejects from the USAF Thunderbirds number six aircraft less than a second before it impacted the ground at an air show at Mountain Home Air Force Base, Idaho, September 2003, Stricklin, who was not injured, ejected after both guiding the jet away from the crowd of more than 60,000 people and ensuring he couldn't save the aircraft. This was only the second crash since the Air Force began using F-16 Falcons for its demonstration team in 1982. The ACES II ejection seat performed flawlessly.
