Aviation is changing. New types of planes are revolutionizing air travel. Small jets can carry 6 to 18 passengers, fly at the same height and speed as commercial airliners, cost less than $1 million, and make private aviation affordable. Since 2003, deliveries for turbine business aircraft increased 30 percent and pilot hiring doubled. The U.S. Department of Labor predicts about 10,000 new positions annually before 2008. There is upward pressure on wages.

The Aviation Unit moved to its present facility in Anacostia Park, the "Eagle's Nest," in 1976. In 1983, the 206B-3 was upgraded to a Bell206L-3 LongRanger. Their first twin-engine helicopter, a Bell 412SP, and the third helicopter to carry the designation "eagle One," was placed in service in January 1991. The Unit grew to its current staff, and began providing 24-hour coverage in January 1994.
