DANVILLE, Va. — Virginia has revoked specialty license plates featuring a Confederate battle flag after a federal judge dissolved an injunction allowing the image.

Attorney General Mark Herring's office said Thursday evening the Department of Motor Vehicles will begin replacing about 1,600 existing plates.

U.S. District Judge Jackson L. Kiser says in a Thursday order his 2001 injunction is no longer valid.

The U.S. Supreme Court recently ruled in a Texas case that specialty license plates represent the state's speech and not the driver's speech.

Virginia's plates honor the Sons of Confederate Veterans.

Department of Motor Vehicles spokesman Brandi Brubaker said the agency will work with the organization to design new plates without the flag. Once the plates are manufactured, they'll be sent to affected motorists.

LOS ANGELES — A problem with a carburetor part led to engine failure and the crash of a vintage airplane piloted by actor Harrison Ford in California earlier this year, federal investigators said Thursday.The part known as a main metering jet likely came loose over the years since the World War II-era craft was restored, the National Transportation Safety Board said. The problem allowed too much fuel to flow, resulting in a loss of engine power.Ford had just taken off from Santa Monica Airport on March 5 when he reported engine failure at an altitude of 1,100 feet and requested an immediate return.In an interview with the lead NTSB investigator, Ford “stated that he did not attempt an engine restart but maintained an airspeed of 85 mph and initiated a left turn back toward the airport; however, during the approach, he realized that the airplane was unable to reach the runway. The pilot did not recall anything further about the accident sequence.”
