The island nation’s Samoa Airways took off this morning when the airline flew from Apia to Auckland on a freshly painted Boeing 737-800 aircraft. The airline replaces the Samoa Government’s recently terminated joint venture with Virgin Australia called ‘Virgin Samoa’ and commences with two direct Oceania routes (Apia-Auckland and Apia-Sydney) as well as four domestic services. Speaking at an official take-off gathering in Apia, Samoa’s Prime Minister urged Samoans around the country to support the country’s independently run national airline, Radio New Zealand reported. Those who choose to fly on the airline’s aircraft, leased from the Icelandair Group, will be able to choose from five fares: FiaFia Saver, FiaFia Smart, FiaFia Plus, FiaFia Flexi and FiaFia Premium Business Class. Touchdown! Welcome to @FlySamoaAirways flight OL731, landed at 10.45 from Apia! pic.twitter.com/bVwtIh6GFP — Auckland Airport (@AKL_Airport) November 13, 2017 Prices for flights from Sydney start from around $342 one-way and includes access to wireless inflight entertainment (so don’t forget that iPad or laptop), food and checked baggage. Meanwhile, Virgin Australia launched its own independent direct flights between Sydney and Samoa this week and is hoping to gain Samoan Government approval to launch flights from the island to New Zealand.

Tag: What We Saw
Recorded live before a global audience on 02/13/20
As the Apollo program finally starts to take wings, learn how the entire program, and everything it accomplished, was actually NASA’s backup plan. From a fire during a routine test to Christmas messages from the far side of the moon, see how the Apollo Program got to that one giant leap of Apollo 11 with a series of very small steps, and missteps.
President Trump wants NASA to get Americans back to the moon in five years. To heighten the urgency, NASA administrator Jim Bridenstine — a Trump political appointee — fires William Gerstenmaier, a well-respected 42-year NASA veteran in charge of human space exploration. Will this sudden move light a fire under the bureaucracy, or did we just lose four decades of institutional knowledge jeopardizing our safe return to the lunar surface? Should NASA get our of the business of human space transportation?
Here’s the trailer for the five-hour special — “Apollo 11: What We Saw,” with Bill Whittle. Mark the 50th anniversary of the historic American moon landing by getting the story behind the space race, and man’s quest to step off of this planet and explore the night sky. | aerospace |

That shifted consideration to SpaceX, which is constructing a subsequent technology rocket, Starship, that can be central to NASA’s crewed Artemis III moon touchdown try.
SpaceX cleared a key environmental evaluation that might enable it to launch an uncrewed orbital check flight from South Texas if it met sure circumstances. However the rocket wasn’t prepared for flight in 2022. The corporate has not introduced a date for a check this 12 months, however common floor checks of Starship tools point out it’s working towards one.
Quite a few different rockets could take flight for the primary time in 2023. Crucial, Vulcan Centaur by United Launch Alliance, will ultimately change that firm’s Atlas V, a automobile that has been central to American spaceflight for 20 years. The Vulcan depends on the BE-4 engine constructed by Blue Origin, the rocket firm based by Jeff Bezos. The identical engine will in flip be utilized in Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket, which can have a check flight late this 12 months.
Plenty of American non-public firms are anticipated to check new rockets in 2023, together with Relativity and ABL. They might be joined by international rocket makers, together with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries which may check Japan’s H3 rocket in February, and Arianespace, which is working towards a check flight of Europe’s Ariane 6 rocket.
New Lunar Landings
We’re assured at the very least one lunar touchdown try in 2023. A Japanese firm, Ispace, launched its M1 mission on a SpaceX rocket in December. It’s taking a gradual, fuel-efficient path to the moon and is about to reach in April, when it’ll attempt to deploy a rover constructed by the United Arab Emirates, a robotic constructed by Japan’s house company, JAXA, in addition to different payloads.
There might be as many as 5 extra lunar touchdown makes an attempt this 12 months.
NASA has employed a pair of personal firms to hold payloads to the lunar floor. Each of them, Intuitive Machines of Houston and Astrobotic Know-how of Pittsburgh, confronted delays in 2022, however could make the journey within the coming months.
They might be joined by three authorities house packages’ lunar missions. India’s Chandrayaan-3 mission was delayed final 12 months however might be prepared in 2023. A Japanese mission, Good Lander for Investigating Moon, or SLIM, goals to check the nation’s lunar touchdown applied sciences. Lastly, Russia’s Luna-25 mission was postponed from final September, however Roscosmos, the Russian house company, could do that 12 months.
New Area Telescopes
The Webb telescope wowed house fans and scientists with its views of the cosmos, however we could get new vantages from quite a lot of orbital observatories.
Essentially the most vital could also be Xuntian, a Chinese language mission setting off later within the 12 months that can be like a extra subtle model of the Hubble Area Telescope. The spacecraft will survey the universe at optical and ultraviolet wavelengths in an orbit round Earth near the nation’s Tiangong house station.
A Japanese-led mission, XRISM, pronounced chrism, may launch earlier within the 12 months as nicely. The mission will use X-ray spectroscopy to check clouds of plasma, which may assist to elucidate the universe’s composition. A European house telescope, Euclid, might also launch on a SpaceX rocket after the Russian invasion of Ukraine resulted within the spacecraft dropping its seat on a Russian Soyuz rocket. It is going to research the universe’s darkish power and darkish matter.
New Planetary Missions
A brand new spacecraft will head towards Jupiter this 12 months, aiming to grow to be the primary to ever orbit one other planet’s moon. The European Area Company’s Jupiter Icy Moon Explorer, or JUICE, will launch from an Ariane 5 rocket as early as April 5 to set off to the Jovian system, arriving in 2031. As soon as it reaches the gasoline big, it’ll transfer to conduct 35 flybys of three of the enormous world’s moons: Callisto, Europa and Ganymede, all of that are believed to have subsurface oceans. In 2034, JUICE will start orbiting Ganymede, the most important moon within the photo voltaic system.
Heading nearer to the solar can be Rocket Lab, a small launch firm that was based in New Zealand. It goals to make use of its Electron rocket to ship a mission to Venus. The corporate’s Photon satellite tv for pc will attempt to deploy a small probe, constructed with Massachusetts Institute of Know-how researchers, that can briefly research the planet’s poisonous environment. The mission was deliberate for Could, however it’s anticipated to face delays whereas the corporate prioritizes missions for its different prospects.
A Complete Eclipse and a Not-So-Complete One
There can be two photo voltaic eclipses in 2023.
A complete eclipse on April 20 can be extra of a Southern Hemisphere occasion, and the moon will solely blot out the solar in distant elements of Australia and Indonesia. (Maybe not a nasty time to be on a ship in elements of the Indian and Pacific Oceans, too.)
However Individuals could get present on Oct. 14, when North America can be visited by an annular eclipse. Eclipses of this kind are typically referred to as “ring of fireside” eclipses as a result of the moon is simply too removed from Earth to totally block the solar however creates a ring-like impact when it reaches totality. The eclipse’s path runs by elements of Oregon, California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas earlier than dipping into Central and South America. The place the climate cooperates, it ought to be an incredible photo voltaic present and a pleasant lead up for the April 8, 2024 complete eclipse that can cross the USA from southwest to northeast. | aerospace |

It seems the biggest opportunity is in the small aircraft field though with Cesna planning to build an all-electric small aircraft. With the low cost of running an electric aircraft perhaps personal aviation will become more affordable?
Either way there are other companies doing impressive things in the field of aerospace innovation. One in particular is Hybrid Air Vehicles who have won a major military contract (I wont say more than they have on their website) and are busy proving that their ‘blimp’ is capable of transporting heavy loads long distances. The company has told me that costs are around 1/7 of traditional air transport. Could these ultimately replace traditional (water based) ships? I can’t imagine they can carry the huge loads so this is unlikely, but perhaps it will be a revolution in the mid sized transportation of goods.
When coupled with the rapid improvements in unmanned aerial technology (again driven by start-ups and small companies) there is some amazing scope for large pilotless air ships transporting goods over land and sea. I will be talking to a few of these start-ups over the coming months to see what they think about this combination of technologies and will report back. | aerospace |

Is it possible to fly faster, farther, greener and safer than ever before? Seems the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) thinks so. The group released its first Top 10 Emerging Aerospace Technologies of 2009 report this week which featured greener aviation and alternative aircraft fuel developments as the top budding technologies.
Specifically the AIAA's hot list includes:
Go green: "Greener aviation" technologies includes everything from emission and noise reduction technologies such as the ones being developed for the Federal Aviation Administration's Continuous Low Emissions, Energy and Noise (CLEEN) program. The FAA is looking to build what it calls a world-class consortium for development, maturing and certification of lower energy, emissions, noise, engine and airframe technology over 10 years.
The group also pointed toward the European Environmentally Friendly Engine (EFE) program and "Clean Sky" Joint Technology Initiative which is seeking to reduce perceived jet noise to a half of current average levels; cut carbon emissions by 50%; cut fuel consumption by 50%; cut nitrogen dioxide (NOx) emissions by 80%; and reduce the weight of engines.
NASA too has focused on developing aircraft that are safer, less expensive and easier to operate, while having fewer negative effects on the environment and communities surrounding airports. For example, the agency has developed Personal Air Vehicles (PAVs) which are small, relatively inexpensive aircraft that can be used for personal travel -- basically a car in the sky. NASA aeronautics developed the PAV concept with the idea of transporting people to within just a few miles of their doorstep destination at trip speeds three to four times faster than airlines or cars. NASA predicts that up to 45% of all miles traveled in the future may be in PAVs. This will relieve congestion at metropolitan hub airports and the freeways that surround them, reduce the need to build new highways and save much of the 6.8 billion gallons of fuel wasted in surface gridlock each year, NASA said.
Go alternative: Closely related to the green effort is alternative fuel development including biofuels, as promoted by the FAA's Commercial Aviation Alternative Fuels Initiative (CAAFI) and the recent FAA grant to the X Prize Foundation to spur development of renewable aviation fuels and technologies. According to the FAA CAAFI's specific goals are to promote the development of alternative fuel options that offer equivalent levels of safety and compare favorably with petroleum-based jet fuel on cost and environmental bases.
The FAA and the X PRIZE Foundation meanwhile hope to inspire the private sector and a new generation of individuals on the need and practical solutions offered through alternative fuels and adaptive technologies in aviation, the FAA said. The FAA said that over the next 14 months, the X PRIZE Foundation will consult with industry experts to develop a strategy to bring together the best minds in the aviation and science communities to solve the technical challenges and speed up the development and implementation of cost-effective renewable aviation fuels. These will be environmentally friendly and won't have negative side effects, such as the displacement of food production or the inducement of land use changes that lead to additional greenhouse gas emissions, the group said.
The Air Force has gone whole hog into the alternative fuel development cycle as well. Last year for example it successfully flew a B-1B aircraft at supersonic speed using an alternate fuel in a flight over the White Sands Missile Range in Texas and New Mexico. The fuel, a 50/50 blend of synthetic and petroleum gas, is being tested as part of an ongoing Air Force program to use a fuel produced in the US, the Air Force said. The Air Force wants to fuel half its North American fleet with a synthetic-fuel blend by 2016.
Go faster: High-speed flight technologies - such as supersonic and hypersonic aerodynamics, sonic boom reduction technology, and thermal management aids. Here the folks at NASA and the Air Force for example, have said they would be offering up to $35 million to help fund research that could ultimately develop aircraft that can fly at over five-times the speed of sound or faster. Such hypersonic aircraft face myriad trajectory control, propulsion and heat-related issues akin to what a spacecraft would endure, experts say.
DARPA too is looking to build a craft capable of Mach 6+.
On the sonic boom front, NASA and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) have announced a partnership to jointly research sonic boom and reduce its impact. NASA said sonic boom modeling is one of the key technologies needed to let a next generation supersonic aircraft quiet enough that it can fly supersonically over land without significant disturbance to the people or damage to property under such noise.
Get economical: Efficient Propulsion Technologies - including open rotors and geared turbofans, such as those used in the European DREAM (valiDation Radical Engine Architecture systeMs) program. The project in part looks to develop advanced technologies mainly devoted to fuel consumption / CO2 reduction pollution reduction while keeping noise levels down.
Let it flow: Active Flow Technologies - such as plasma actuators. Such technology could be used on super- or hypersonic aircraft to control the aircraft's movements. NASA notes that flow control in general is a fluid dynamics technology which is being exploited to improve the performance of aerodynamic surfaces under widely varying conditions. Many of these technologies are becoming common on present day aircraft as passive devices in the form of vortex generators on the upper surface of wings and the vertical winglets seen at the wing tips. NASA goes on to say in active flow control the intent is to apply the control device when needed, thereby gaining the desired improvement. When not required, the control is not applied, and does not detract from the natural performance of the flow surfaces in the engine.
You are what you're made of: Advanced Materials - such as nanotechnology and composites. Lightweight and strong composites will continue to be a game-changing technology for aerospace. Composites are being developed that won't melt under high-speeds or can handle space atmosphere.
The shapes of things to come: Active Structures - such as shape memory alloys, morphing, and flapping. On its Web site, EADS Military Air Systems says it is investigating innovative design concepts in which the interaction between external aerodynamic forces and the elastic behavior of aircraft will be exploited in order to ensure optimum efficiency for different flight conditions and loads. Airplanes can twist and change aerodynamic shape as they fly, especially at high speed, so such systems can take advantage of that change or try to minimize it.
NASA has worked with developing such technology. For example it developed technology that demonstrated improved aircraft roll control through aerodynamically induced wing twist on a full-scale high performance aircraft at transonic and supersonic speeds. Data was obtained to develop design information for blending flexible wing structures with control law techniques to obtain the performance of current day aircraft with much lighter wing structures. The flight data included aerodynamic, structural and flight control characteristics that demonstrated and measured the AAW concept in a comparatively low cost, effective manner. The data also will provide benchmark design criteria as guidance for future aircraft designs.
Healthy flying: Health Management - such as monitoring, prognostics, and self-healing. The idea here is that systems will be further enhanced to do better remote collection, monitoring, and analysis of airplane data to determine the craft's status. A number of these systems exists today on airplanes built by Boeing and Airbus. In fact the computer systems aboard the ill-fated Air France jet that crashed this week had notified to its headquarters it was having electrical problems.
An unmanned world: Remote Sensing Technologies - including unmanned aerial vehicles and satellites such as those used in NASA's Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS) program. GEOSS uses a variety of unmanned devices to gather all manner of environmental data. NASA has drone aircraft outfitted with special sensors and technology to help scientists predict everything from a hurricane's intensity and track and how fast Arctic summer ice will melt to whether soggy Pacific storms will flood West Coast cities.
And the market for sophisticated unmanned aircraft grows all the time. The US Air Force says next year it will acquire more unmanned aircraft than manned. Researchers at the Teal Group said in their 2008 market study estimates that UAV spending will more than double over the next decade from current worldwide UAV spending of $3.4 billion annually to $7.3 billion, totaling close to $55 billion in the next ten years. The forecast also indicates that the US could account for 73% of the world's research and development investment unmanned flight in the next decade.
Getting spacey: Advanced Space Propulsion Technologies - including plasma-based propulsion such as the Variable Specific Impulse Magnetoplasma Rocket, and solar sail technologies.
The design of the VASIMR prototype is collaboration between the Department of Energy and the Oak Ridge National Laboratory and its Center for Manufacturing Technology, NASA says. The VASIMR is expected to be commercially useful for boosting communication satellites and other Earth-orbiting spacecraft to higher orbits, retrieving and servicing spacecraft in high orbits around the Earth, and boosting high-payload robotic spacecraft on very fast missions to other planets.
According to NASA the VASIMR should make it possible for robotic spacecraft to travel quickly to the outer reaches of the Solar system and begin probing interstellar space. By far, the greatest potential of the VASIMR is expected to lie in its ability to significantly reduce the trip times for human missions to Mars and beyond. This reduction in times is expected to enable long-term exploration of outer space by humans - something that conventional rocket designs now preclude.
The AIAA says it is the world's largest professional society boasting 35,000 members involved in promoting the progress of aviation engineering and science, space and defense. | aerospace |

U.S. rocket maker Aerojet Rocketdyne has already reached the stars in terms of investor performance. In July 2012, Aerojet, a manufacturer that dates back to World War II, announced it would buy Rocketdyne, the maker of the five F-1 engines that powered the Saturn V rocket that took people to the moon in 1969. Since then, its stock has returned almost 690%. That compares with 280% for the U.S. aerospace and defense industry overall and 150% for the broader S&P 500.
After a post-Cold War drought in demand for rockets, the U.S. seems to be ready to engage in a new space race—this time with China—to return to the moon. Aerojet is one of the key contractors involved in the development of Space Launch System, NASA’s new heavy-load space rocket.
This has sparked investor interest in space-related companies, giving Aerojet’s stock another bump this year. Analysts at UBS estimate that the space economy will be worth more than $800 billion in annual revenue by 2030. A new generation of mini-satellites is a particularly big profit opportunity for the rocket companies that will launch them into space.
True, competition is heating up. Aerojet’s products are expensive, and SLS has been saddled with delays and a cost overrun of almost $2 billion. Technology tycoons Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos are both trying to build cheaper rockets with their own space ventures—SpaceX and Blue Origin, respectively. | aerospace |

In order to extend the physical capabilities of soldiers and the mental acuity of pilots and other operators of technical equipment, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) sponsors research into continuous assisted performance (CAP) technology and pharmacology.
CAP programs are designed to allow an increase in operation tempo by allowing soldiers to operate without sleep, or limited amounts of sleep, for at least seven days. In most combat operational systems, the fatigue of soldiers is the major limiting factor in operational readiness and ability to continue action. Because of the increasingly technical nature of warfare, the mere ability to go without sleep is not productive unless high levels of both cognitive and physical performance can be maintained.
The effects of sleep deprivation are well known to interrogators, and informal efforts to fight fatigue among troops have ranged from the soldier's historical use of strong coffee or tea to the condoned use of pharmacological fatigue management tools. U.S. Air Force pilots are routinely allowed to take dexamphetamine pills (also known as "go" pills), a prescription drug.
The use of go pills is controversial because the active ingredients can impair judgment. In fact, when used in other formulations, such drugs routinely carry warnings against operating heavy equipment under the influence of the drug. The impairment of judgment associated with dexamphetamine pills, further stimulates CAP research.
During the Flight of Apollo 13, as the crew entered the critical reentry orbit interface, the exhausted crew was reportedly ordered to take Dexedrine tablets to help keep their computer inputs precise and accurate.
Use of dexamphetamine by U.S. pilots, whose judgment might have been impaired by fatigue or the use of "go pills," was also argued to be a contributing factor in a 2002 "friendly fire" bombing accident in Afghanistan.

While one will return within minutes, the other will commence a billion-kilometre-long journey towards Jupiter. Both the missions are being held as major events owing to their scientific and engineering prowess.
While Blue Origin will launch four passengers into space in its second crewed mission on the New Shepard spacecraft, Nasa will launch the ambitious Lucy mission to the Trojan asteroid swarms close to Jupiter. The launch of Lucy will be followed by the much-awaited James Webb Telescope, slated in December this year.
BLUE ORIGIN LAUNCH ON WEDNESDAY
Blue Origin will launch four passengers, including famed actor Willian Shatner, to space on its New Shepard spacecraft on Wednesday. The launch was initially scheduled for Tuesday, however strong winds in the region led to the postponement of the liftoff for October 13.

The liftoff is targeted at 7.00 pm IST from launch site one. The mission comes months after the company flew its boss Jeff Bezos on the debut crewed flight with three others proofing its system’s capabilities of launching and landing humans to and from space. The company has been working with Nasa on perfecting the reusable system, as it gives competition to Elon Musk’s SpaceX. Led by Bezos, Blue Origin aims to get a chunk of business in the emerging space tourism sector ferrying millionaires and billionaires (for now) to and from space.
The Wednesday launch will see 90-year-old William Shatner, known for his portrayal of Captain Kirk, strapped to the New Shepard spacecraft, along with Glen de Vries co-founder of Medidata Solutions, Dr Chris Boshuizen founder of PlanetLabs and Audrey Powers. The autonomous spacecraft will take the four crewmembers beyond the Karaman Line (100 kilometres above Earth) for a few minutes before they return to Earth. The astronauts will experience weightlessness before they return.
LUCY TO LAUNCH ON SATURDAY
Nasa will launch Lucy, a spacecraft designed to probe the Trojan asteroid swarms around Jupiter, on October 16 from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. The Lucy mission has been designed to find answers to some of the biggest questions in astronomy like where did we come from? and how did our universe begin?
The spacecraft will look for answers in a debris field near Jupiter, that consists of some of the biggest objects that are remnants of the primordial material that formed the outer planets. Dubbed trojan asteroids, scientists believe the remnants of the early solar system are trapped by the gravitational field of Jupiter and the Sun in a pitch-perfect balancing act.
Lucy will explore trojan asteroids swarming around Jupiter. (Photo: Nasa)
During its 12-year operational phase following launch, the spacecraft will study several asteroids in the debris field flying by one main-belt asteroid and seven Trojan asteroids. Lucy will incorporate three Earth-gravity assists (using Earth’s gravity to slingshot) to reach the Trojan swarms and accomplish these targeted encounters.
Nasa said, “No other space mission in history has been launched to as many different destinations in independent orbits around our sun. Lucy will show us, for the first time, the diversity of the primordial bodies that built the planets.” The mission takes its name from the fossilized human ancestor (called “Lucy” by her discoverers) whose skeleton provided unique insight into humanity’s evolution. | aerospace |

Polanya nın KRUK Programı
One non-European competitor is the Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) T129 Atak helicopter. Relatively new to the market, the twin-engine multirole combat helicopter is currently in operations with the Turkish Land Forces and was deployed in May 2016 for trials with Pakistan Army Aviation.
A TAI spokesperson in a statement said that one of the strengths of the rotorcraft in the competition was its maintenance and life-cycle costs.
'As a candidate for the Kruk programme, T129 Atak is the most modern, agile and robust, day/night, all-weather attack and reconnaissance weapon system, [which is] now being offered to the Polish Air Force to provide best performance and manoeuvre capability for all-weather conditions.'
The spokesperson continued: 'Through effective design, on board diagnostics, minimum crew requirements for maintenance and a simplified logistical footprint, the T129 Atak's life-cycle costs are very competitive and almost certainly unbeatable in its class.'
The tender timeline for the programme to replace the Mi-24 remains confidential at this stage and the Polish government remain tight-lipped on the next steps.
Other companies that have also expressed an interest include Airbus Helicopters and Boeing. The tender launch for 16 to 32 aircraft is anticipated later this year or early into 2018.

Returning to Huntington Beach show for a second time is the pride of the Air Force, the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds. Flying Lockheed Martin F-16 Fighting Falcons, the Thunderbirds perform with mind-bending precision and choreographed sequences that electrify audiences with every roll, pass and formation.
Jeff is no stranger to The Great Pacific Airshow. Fans may remember him flying the Screaming Sasquatch, the jet-propelled biplane that performed in 2016. Making its West Coast debut and bringing twice the excitement to Huntington Beach at this year’s Airshow is Jeff Boerboon’s Yak 110. This one-of-a-kind aircraft is made of two fuselages, two propellers, one jet engine and one awesome pilot! In addition to flying for fun, Jeff also currently flies for a major airline.
“Sticky” is a retired USAF A-10, F-5, and F-16 fighter pilot with 270 combat hours and 3000 total fighter hours. He served as the Slot #4 pilot with the USAF Air Demonstration Squadron “Thunderbirds” and currently flies for Southwest Airlines.

Lucas Oil’s Mike Wiskus is another experienced professional who has been flying planes for over 40 years. In fact, Mike has never had any other job. He will be flying Lucas Oil’s stunt plane “Super Stinker,” formally known as the S-1-11B. This plane has been redesigned from its original build to reach new heights.
Matt Chapman is recognized as an extraordinary aerobatic pilot who thrills millions of airshow fans each year. He began flying aerobatics in 1984, and competed for some time. Matt was honored with the Hilliard Trophy when he became the highest finishing U.S. pilot in the World Aerobatic Championships. Sponsored by Embry Riddle, Matt inspired young people to pursue a career in aviation. He also flies for a major air carrier and has logged tens of thousands of hours.
Still in his early 20s, Sammy Mason is one of the younger pilots in the air show scene. He flies aerobatics in a Pitts S-1S that once served as a restoration project for his entire family with Sammy flying the aircrafts first test flight. He first began performing aerobatics in a motorglider at age 16 and in 2014 became the youngest member of the U.S. Advanced Aerobatic Team at age 19. He has logged 2,000 hours of flight in more than 50 aircraft types.
Known as the “Willa Dean,” the Lyon Air Museum’s C-47 is one of the most complete and original C-47s currently in operation and has been flying since 1941. The Lyon Air Museum was founded by Major General William Lyon and is located in Orange County, CA. On exhibit at the museum are authentic aircraft, rare vehicles and related memorabilia with an emphasis on the defining event of the 20th Century – World War II.
Flying another piece of history is Greg Colyer who will fly a T-33 he named the “Ace Maker,” the U.S. Air Force’s first operational jet. Colyer took his first flight at age 7 and has been hooked ever since. He has been flying for more than three decades after serving in the U.S. Army in the 1980’s. He began flying T-33’s in 2007 and soon after acquired the T-33 he flies in airshows across the country. He founded a non-profit to help preserve these aircraft.
Returning for its third year will be the FedEx 757. This transport aircraft thrilled the crowds in 2017 when during a low, high speed pass the Boeing 757 achieved aerodynamic contrails, or vapor, over the wings.
The SOCOM Para-Commandos are the only joint service parachute demonstration team in the U.S. military. These Special Operations team members are selected after a rigorous training program and participate in this team in addition to their regular duties.
Flying in this year’s airshow is a U.S. Air Force C-17 Globemaster III, one the largest military transport aircraft, and a KC 135 Stratotanker. These two aircraft will perform a simulated air-to-air refueling demonstration.
Search and Rescue (SAR) is one of the Coast Guard's oldest missions with a top priority of minimizing the loss of life, injury or property in the maritime environment. This highly trained team will display their globally recognized skills for the airshow crowd in Huntington Beach.
Based at the Orange County Airport, HeliStream specializes in Flight Training, Charter/Scenic Flights as well as Aerial Crane Operations.

Performing moves like torque rolls, tail slides, quickened level twists, outside circles, Cuban eights, upset twists, lomcevaks and blade edge turns while getting a charge out of an all-encompassing perspective of the stratosphere is the exact inverse of stationary weariness.
Encountering Fun in the Sky Flying a Real Aerobatic Airplane
Now, you may believe that, while taking part in aviation expo style aerobatics from the cockpit of an Extra 300L-the most elevated execution ensured aerobatic air ship on the planet sounds like the enterprise of a lifetime, you presumably need a pilot’s permit and meet different details so as to take the cockpit. Be that as it may, reconsider. Benefactors of aerobatic flight undertakings truly run from evaluation school kids to incredible grandmas, and you needn’t bother with a solitary hour of flight experience, significantly less a pilot’s permit. You should simply visit an aeronautics experience organization in individual or online and browse an assortment of aerobatic flight bundles, which can be altered to live up to your desires.
Whichever flight bundle you pick, you’ll be given the chance to pilot the plane yourself or kick back and appreciate the ride while a professionally prepared military pilot takes the burden. In either case, you’ll be flying with an authorized military pilot who has a huge number of hours of flight experience. In the aeronautics enterprise industry, wellbeing dependably starts things out, which makes the experiences substantially more fun.
Albeit most avionics enterprise outfits concentrate on offering flight undertakings to the overall population, they additionally offer aerobatic preparing to experienced pilots. While most pilots have gotten vexed recuperation preparing, specific aerobatic moves can add another measurement to pilots’ capacity to continue facilitated flight in an assortment of miracle state of mind circumstances. Notwithstanding aerobatic preparing, avionics enterprise organizations offer instrument recuperation preparing, which instructs pilots to judge a plane’s mentality utilizing cockpit instruments as opposed to depending on “feel” and outside deceivability.
This industry offers different sorts of flight bundles, running from single flight bundles to multi-day, multi-flight bundles. In case you’re a first time client who’s hoping to get your feet wet in an Extra 300L, you can buy a 20-minute flight where you ride traveler and experience an assortment of aerobatics for somewhat under $500.00. On the other hand, in case you’re hoping to amplify your enterprise for a couple days, the bigger bundles keep running amongst $1600.00 and $3700.00. The augmented day and multi-day bundles are perfect for the individuals who need to ace battle moves and pilot the plane themselves.
Notwithstanding your age and flight encounter, this industry has a flight enterprise for everybody. Whether you need to prepare or essentially appreciate the flight experience of a lifetime, the prepared military pilots in the avionics enterprise industry are prepared to surpass your desires.
Flying Basic Aerobatics with Your RC Airplane:
Keeping in mind the end goal to truly play around with aerobatics with your RC plane, you’ll require a plane that is low-wing. This implies the plane dream have the capacity to do a circle without losing velocity. The ultra-game planes are an incredible asset to have. They are the fundamentals that are required for the sportsman who will contend or fly aerobatics without rivalry. The wings of the plane are vital to performing aerobatic moves. The planes for aerobatics are specific.
The main thing that is required is to get an AMA rivalry control so that the flyer will know more about moves when all is said in done. The duplicates are accessible from AMA for nothing. The initial step on the best way to learn moves is to contact a nearby club part that performs these tricks. They are the go-to individuals on the most proficient method to take in about the aerobatic field. Regardless of the possibility that the fledgling aerobatic flyer is not going to aggressively fly; a duplicate of the AMA booklet ought to in any case be a crucial bit of instructive material.
Likewise, the most noticeably awful thing that should be possible by a novice flyer is to take in the plane setups inaccurately. These moves are fundamental to be done well. The hardest part about learning aerobatics inaccurately is endeavoring to learn them effectively a while later. It can be the most troublesome piece of attempting to bring an end to a propensity. The propelled specialists in a nearby club are an extraordinary asset and ought to dependably be a first decision. Now and again, the web can give an incredible asset to the learner.

According to sources, since Chidambaram is in judicial custody in the INX Media case, the ED cannot examine him in a different case without taking permission from the competent court. “Prior to his (the former finance minister) arrest in the INX Media case, the ED had summoned Chidambaram for questioning in connection with aviation scam. But he could not be examined by the ED in this case as he was arrested by the CBI in the INX Media case. Now, the ED is preparing to seek permission from the trial court for his questioning in the aviation scam”, sources said.
The case pertains to the purchase of 48 aircraft from Airbus and 68 from Boeing for around `70,000 crore in 2007. In December 2005, the then Manmohan Singh Cabinet had approved the deal for 68 aircraft from Boeing Co by Air India. A year later, Indian Airlines signed up to buy 43 planes from Airbus.
The two national carriers were later merged in 2007 to operate under the brand Air India — that too is being probed by the ED and CBI. It is suspected that the contract to buy 43 aircraft from Airbus was finalised by a panel of ministers headed by P. Chidambaram in 2009. Former aviation minister Praful Patel was earlier grilled by the ED on three occasions in connection with the deal.
Sources said Chidambaram will be asked specific questions pertaining to the decision taken by the Empowered Group of Ministers (EGoM) to purchase 111 aircraft. “The aircraft purchase order was reportedly cleared by an EGoM headed by P. Chidambaram and the merger was cleared by an EGoM (group of ministers) headed by another senior Cabinet member of the Manmohan Singh government. Both decisions were ratified by the Cabinet”, sources said. The then aviation minister Praful Patel had already claimed (during his recent questionings) that all decisions were multi-tiered and collective, sources claimed. | aerospace |

July 20, 2019 was the 50th anniversary of the first Moon landing [HOAX] that took place on July 20, 1969.
Editor’s Note: This irrefutable exposé is supported with a number of high integrity videos and articles which contain hard scientific evidence that prove ALL the manned Moon landings were faked. The rocket scientists, engineers and other experts provide authoritative testimony and evidence that is as unimpeachable as their credentials are. Hence, after reading and viewing the motherlode of indisputable proof of multiple faked Moon landings there are two primary questions that remain: Who was behind this “greatest conspiratorial fraud” in U.S. history; and exactly why did they do it? The definitive answer to both of these crucial questions is presented below.
Let’s be very clear: it was technically and practically impossible for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to put a man on the Moon in 1969. The extremely advanced technology necessary to accomplish such a daunting feat was simply not available in America in 1969.
Bear in mind that it was only during the 1950s that black and white televisions were in use, and that it wasn’t until the mid-1960s that color broadcasting was introduced in the US.
The highly advanced science and technology required to put a man on the Moon with lunar rovers in tow was simply not developed enough at that time. CASE CLOSED!
What was highly developed was NASA’s intention to recklessly deceive the American people along with the world community of nations. The U.S. Federal Government was obsessively determined to be known for putting the first man on the Moon, even if it meant shamelessly faking the whole event, which they did.
For those who disbelieve the sheer depth and breadth of the scandalous fraud known as APOLLOgate, please view the 2 videos posted at the following link.
The overwhelming amount and high quality of indisputable evidence of APOLLOgate fraud presented in these two video presentations portrays a space agency that was totally out of control.
That NASA would perpetrate this transparent fraud over the course of 11 long years, from 1961 to 1972 is as shocking as it is inconceivable.
It has always been the case that NASA enjoys the least credibility — WORLDWIDE — of all US agencies, so it’s no wonder the ongoing APOLLOgate deception convinced the American people they landed 12 men on the Moon.
Photo and Video Analysis Proved the Hoax
What NASA clearly failed to comprehend was the degree of scientific advancement in the realm of photo and video analysis that would take place from 1969 through 2019.
The technical analysis of both mediums is light years ahead of the 1960s and therefore the case of obvious fraud was a cinch for the forensic film investigators to break.
For example, even a six-year-old might perceive correctly that the astronaut pictured below could not possibly be so well photographed in astonishing white detail while descending the ladder IN THE SHADOW OF THE LEM (Lunar Excursion Module).
Such a photo is simply impossible and surely the NASA fraudsters did not care about that in 1969 (the photographers clearly set up special lighting in the “studio” to light up the astronaut like a Christmas tree). All they wanted to portray was a great shot of an astronaut touching the Moon’s surface. And so they did … but to such a great extent that they exposed their own ridiculous photograph fraud.
KEY POINT: It’s critical to understand that these Apollo manned missions to the Moon did not transport any lighting equipment since the additional weight and space requirements would have been too prohibitive.
Then there is this picture-perfect photo below of a reflection of Neil Armstrong in the face mask of Buzz Aldrin’s helmet. Again, there’s so much wrong with this photo it reeks with NASA deceit as the aforementioned videos make clear.
Van Allen Radiation Belt
Perhaps the greatest challenge of putting a man on the Moon — ALIVE — was keeping three astronauts from dying from radiation exposure as they flew through the notorious Van Allen Radiation Belt.
Virtually every astrophysicist and astronomical engineer who has weighed in on this highly consequential matter has said the same thing: that the inordinately high level of radiation present in the Van Allen Belt is prohibitively and dangerously high. So high, in fact, that the traveling astronauts would probably not make it through and, if they did, would sustain serious injury to their bodies. For example, NASA released this video in advance of the Orion spacecraft being launched which warned of the well-researched dangers of the Van Allen Radiation Belt: NASA admits humans can’t pass through the dangerous Van Allen Belts (Video).
Not only is human life put into serious jeopardy as it travels through the Van Allen Belt, so was the equipment and electronic circuitry that were a necessary part of every Apollo Mission. The stark reality is that the VAB radiation would be intense enough to endanger the astronauts as well as knock out the vital spacecraft technology and communication equipment.
In light of these extreme and precarious circumstances, how, pray tell, did they ever land a man on the Moon?
That’s right, they didn’t!
Neil Armstrong: The first man on the Moon (NOT)
The public behavior of Neil Armstrong since he supposedly stepped on the Moon is a crucial piece of evidence in the APOLLOgate scandal. Why NASA selected an astronaut who was such an anti-social character to begin with was one of the biggest flaws in their scheme.
That Armstrong refused to avail himself to the media since day one is another damning clue. Why would the most famous person in world in 1969 do everything possible to avoid the expected and inevitable media attention? Not only that, but what few interactions Armstrong did have with the press were quite uncomfortable for both the viewer and Armstrong alike. Clearly, Neil Armstrong’s extreme guilt for faking the moon landing got to him—BIG TIME!
Let’s face it: when even Apollo 11 astronaut Buzz Aldrin said that “we never went to the Moon”, you know NASA has extremely serious problems containing the damage.
Russia has never landed a man on the Moon
Exactly why has Russia never undertaken a similar manned voyage to the Moon even though they were far ahead of the United States in the space race from day one.
Russia’s scientific advancement and technological development have always been way ahead of NASA’s; yet they never ventured to the Moon with a manned spacecraft.
There have been various Russian scientists, cosmonauts and astrophysicists who have been quoted over the years who have asserted the inherent dangers of such a risky launch. Some of them have referred to the Van Allen Radiation Belt as a particularly hazardous zone of space that could doom any attempt.
Because of the well-known competition to explore and dominate space, the Russians would have certainly accomplished a successful Moon landing by now IF IT WAS POSSIBLE.
However, they knew better at the Soviet space program in Moscow not to even attempt such an ill-fated trip to the lunar surface by their highly prized cosmonauts. To harm or kill these heroes of Russia would be an unforgivable crime.
The BOTTOM LINE here is that NASA never put 12 astronauts on the Moon, much less one.
Even FOX distributed an excellent documentary under the title Conspiracy Theory: Did We Land on the Moon? The highly qualified professionals who provided testimony for this film offered evidence that is irrefutable. It’s well worth watching this film because of how well it elucidates 3 crucial points that prove the Moon landing hoax. These points were made by Bill Kaysing, an analyst and engineer at Rocketdyne—the company that designed the Apollo rockets. The following statements are almost exact quotes from Kaysing and can be found in the preceding video documentary.
(1) There were no stars in the photos or video footage despite the clarity of deep space. Stars were completely missing from the dark black lunar sky.
(2) The American flag was waving even though there is no air on the Moon.
(3) There was no blast crater beneath the Lunar lander (aka Apollo Lunar Module).
KEY POINT: While these 3 obvious and inexplicable problems with the first Moon landing hoax completely blow apart NASA’s official narrative, they represent only a tip of the iceberg that has been incredibly hidden form the American people for 5 decades. The upshot of the entire unassailable analysis by experts is that NASA’s stranglehold on the scientific establishment and academia is so complete that the best and brightest among us were sufficiently intimidated not to share these self-evident truths.
APOLLOgate is the “The Greatest Conspiratorial Fraud Ever Committed by the U.S. Federal Government” against the American people. Truly, there’s nothing even close. Not 9/11. Not the OK City Bombing. Not even the apocalyptic BP Gulf Oil Spill.
Although the Apollo Space Program only cost $28 billion in 1960 dollars, adjusted for inflation in 2019 it would cost $288.1 billion. In either case, that’s a big chunk of change, especially for those who stole it from the American taxpayers.
Whenever a complex conspiracy is this deep and wide across vast stretches of US government bureaucracy, there are many who are on the take. Because the Apollo Space Program was a closely associated enterprise of the Military-Industrial Complex, the co-conspirators at the top of APOLLOgate can be found by tracing back from there to those who secretly own and operate the participating NASA-contracted corporations.
The obvious connections will always lead to the International Banking Cartel (IBC) which is forever looking for new ways to fleece the U.S. citizenry. Of course, at the very top of the IBC is the one furtive entity that has enjoyed virtual impunity as they have perpetrated their money-bilking schemes over many decades if not centuries—the Khazarian Mafia.
But why did they pull off a deception so obvious, to so many, and with so many profound consequences should they be found out?
Because they could.
Just like the very same bad actors assassinated JFK, RFK, MLK and Malcolm X and got away with it. They also murdered Marilyn Monroe, Judy Garland and Sharon Tate.
These same criminally insane psychopaths also did 9/11, the OK City Bombing, the BP Gulf Oil Spill and got away with them scot-free. There’s a LOT more they have gotten away with that is way beyond the scope of this APOLLOgate exposé.
However, where it concerns the wildly fraudulent Apollo Space Program (ASP), the perps at the very top had much more to gain in the realm of advanced space-based weaponry development. Even though they did not land a man on the Moon, the science and technology side of the ASP allowed them to covertly develop satellite-based weapons that they wanted (and needed) to achieve total world domination. And they did it, perhaps, by deceiving Russia and many other nations who were, and are, very concerned about being attacked from space. Witness the rapid development of the space programs now being run by China, India and other countries who are justifiably concerned about these crazies who run the asylum known as planet Earth.
Let’s understand that the chutzpah and deceit required to pull off this massive and complicated APOLLOgate fraud and cover-up is beyond anything normal Americans would ever try. In other words, only a certain TRIBE would attempt this unparalleled deception and grand theft. That alone provides an essential clue as to who was really behind APOLLOgate.
KEY POINT: What significantly distinguishes APOLLOgate from the obvious “Moon landing hoax” is quite HUGE. The “Moon landing hoax” starring Neil Armstrong has been presented over the years as an isolated incident when in fact it is merely one of several staged hoaxes. Every manned Apollo mission was a fraudulent enterprise designed to profoundly deceive the American people. Hence, the entire Apollo program over a decade long was carried out as a highly orchestrated deception the likes of which the world has never seen. Not only did NASA not put those 12 men on the Moon, Apollo Missions 11 though 17 were not even undertaken to land on the moon. Rather, each of these utterly fake Moon missions was executed in such an elaborate and convoluted manner so as to considerably strain credulity.
Murder of Gus Grissom on Apollo 1
While the deadly fire on Apollo 1 may not be widely known, the entire NASA community was well aware of that deliberately caused tragedy. In point of fact, astronaut Gus Grissom and his 2 mission mates were murdered in an arson fire on the launch pad on January 27, 1967.
Everyone at NASA knew that Gus Grissom was an extremely smart guy who identified numerous fatal flaws with the Apollo program. He was even brave enough to document those flaws which, when considered in the aggregate, proved that Apollo could never fulfill its moon landing mission. Grissom was so courageous that he told NASA administrators that the Apollo program could never land on the Moon and make it back safely.
Various NASA insiders and whistleblowers have since come forward and, in different ways, explained that Grissom was killed at the onset of the program as a message to all the other astronauts. The same brutal message was also meant for all NASA personnel: Anyone who exposes the Apollo hoax would do so on pain of death—an ugly death at that.
Grissom was such a stickler for mission details, particularly those that pertained to the health and well-being of his fellow astronauts, that NASA could not tolerate him any longer. Not only did they get rid of him in a premeditated conflagration, by doing so they ensured they would never encounter another meticulously responsible and conscientious astronaut again. From that day forward, each and every astronaut always went along to get along… with NASA and its dictates.
That Apollo’s inaugural mission — Apollo1 — ended up in flames ought to have been a poignant omen for the ill-fated and misguided program. And so it was … all the way to the Apollo 13 catastrophe hoax and beyond.
The Staged Disaster on Apollo 13
Who has not heard of the “miracle out of the mishap” that allegedly took place on Apollo 13 on April 13, 1970?
How’s that for occult numerology, especially when considering the fact that Apollo 13 was launched at “1:13 pm Houston time, or 13:13 on a 24-hour military clock”?!
There are several absurd aspects to this supposed space accident that was made world-famous by Tom Hanks and Kevin Bacon in the movie APOLLO 13. The most ridiculous of these was the implausible way that the 3 astronauts saved the spacecraft as it plummeted back to Earth. This tall tale is so ludicrous on the face of it that only a certified idiot would believe it. One need only watch the movie to see for themselves. Apollo 13 Movie
The critical point here is that NASA needed a credible way to gradually kill the Apollo program. Running such a multi-year con was getting more difficult to pull off and demanding technologically. Putting the astronauts in such serious jeopardy while the whole world looked on was just the trick. And then making a popular movie out of it with famous all-American boy actors really sealed the deal. Those NASA cheerleaders and space-race diehards throughout the US Government would never again press the matter in Congress after Apollo 13 nearly crashed and burned. End of story.
From that day onward, the wind slowly came out of the sails of America’s space program. It just never generated the same level of interest in the country. The prospect of losing even more astronauts because of outright negligence would only cast NASA under the negative light it so richly deserved. See: NASA = Never A Straight Answer (Video)
The New World Order globalist cabal had the most to gain by running this CON game on the American people. They especially benefited from all the innovative technologies that are now utilized in their global geoengineering regime. Many of these are used to weaponize the weather and effectuate climate engineering across the planet. Only in this way can the globalists hope to take total control of the Earth’s resources as well as exert complete control over the planetary weather patterns and meteorological events.
Full-spectrum dominance has always been the goal of those who want to rule the realm. The Apollo Space Program substantially enabled the NWO cabal to get a leg up on all enemies, both real and perceived, in the pursuit of this nefarious objective. After all, a One World Government is the capstone of their New World Order, and ruling space will permit them to enforce the tyrannical edicts of such a totalitarian global empire.
One of the premier pitchman for the New World Order — President Lyndon B. Johnson — expressed this hidden agenda for total world domination best in the following quote:
Bottom Line: After watching the 2 excellent videos posted at this LINK, not only is it graphically apparent that none of the Apollo missions made it to the Moon, even their amateur photo-documentaries and photographs and audio feeds reveal an exceedingly juvenile attempt to perpetrate a hoax. In other words, even the technology necessary to pull off a convincing hoax was substantially lacking in 1969 and early 1970s. When viewed with an objective and open mind, both videos end up being quite hysterical watching the astronauts bounce up and down on a fake lunar surface without a care in the world. However, their true reasons for doing it are not so funny!

Good morning, troops. It's Tuesday, Aug. 15.
It also is the 58th birthday of one Scott "Scooter" Altman, the only astronaut ever to have graduated from Pekin Community High School.
He probably also is the only graduate of Pekin Community High School to have appeared with Tom Cruise in a motion picture.
Altman was born in Lincoln and resided for two years in Wenona. But he spent most of his youth in Pekin, where his parents, Fred and Sharon Altman, were longtime educators.
After his 1977 high school graduation, where he was first in his 702-member class, Altman attended the University of Illinois, then was commissioned as an ensign in the U.S. Navy. Eventually, he was selected as an astronaut candidate and ended up as part of four Space Shuttle missions.
Between 1998 and 2009, Altman was a Space Shuttle pilot for two missions and commander for two others. Those missions included Hubble Space Telescope servicing. In all, Altman spent 51 days in space.
The namesake of Altman Primary School in Pekin now works for Maryland-based ASRC Federal Holding Co., a support firm for U.S. government civil, intelligence and defense agencies. He also talks frequently with youth groups about his time in the heavens, and about the teamwork necessary to complete a space mission.
"My first time as a commander, where I had responsibility for the mission, was probably one of the biggest challenges I've personally felt," Altman said last month to the Daily Press of Newport News, Va. "By the time we launched, I felt we were ready."
He also was ready for his silver-screen closeup.
Altman was among four Navy F-14 pilots chosen to participate in "Top Gun." In that legendary 1986 movie, Cruise is featured as a Naval aviator chosen to attend fighter-pilot training school.
In one scene, an F-14 plane Altman piloted buzzed a control tower. That doesn't happen in real life, he said. But in reel life, that take was repeated nine times.
In another scene, while flying upside down, Altman flashes an obscene finger gesture to the pilot of a Soviet fighter jet.
"They said go ahead and gesture at the other airplane," Altman told CNN in 2009. "So when you're looking at the scene where he's communicating with the Russian, or the bad-guy pilots in the movie, that would be my finger."
Too bad the "Top Gun" director didn't ask Altman to sing "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling," too.
The song heard on the way to work seems like a good one to sing, or perhaps just listen to, while gliding above the earth after dark in the Space Shuttle, doesn't it? | aerospace |

It said its flights from Bangkok to Karachi on Wednesday and Karachi to Bangkok on Thursday has been cancelled. Flight operations from Bangkok to Hong Kong and Hong Kong to Bangkok on the said dates remained normal, it said. Cathay Pacific operates four flights a week between Karachi and Hong Kong.
“We will continue to monitor the situation closely. Customers are recommended to check flight status before departing for the airport,” the airline said. According to information available on Pakistan’s Civil Aviation Authority’s Twitter page, a Thai Airways flight was also cancelled. Cargolux Airlines International SA has also suspended its service from Karachi airport.
“Due to the developing situation, the Karachi stopover has been cancelled until further notice,” Europe’s biggest all-cargo airline said on its website. The airline operates one weekly flight to Karachi on Tuesdays with flight CV7822 routed from Luxembourg to Sharjah via Karachi. It also confirmed that none of its aircraft were involved, damaged or destroyed in the attack at the airport, contrary to rumours published online.
“Cargolux would like to further state that none of its aircraft were positioned in Karachi at the time of the attack,” it said. Meanwhile, Emirates announced that it was continuing to operate flights between Dubai and Karachi. However, it advised passengers to check their flight status as some flights may have to be retimed.
“The safety of Emirates’ passengers and crew is of utmost importance and will not be compromised,” it said. In a six-hour siege of airport on Sunday night, more than 30 people were killed, including 10 Taliban militants. Karachi is the largest and most populous metropolitan city of Pakistan. The Jinnah International Airport is Pakistan’s busiest. | aerospace |

Part 107 was always intended as a starting point, designed to allow as much as possible without compromising safety. In the longer term, the plan is to expand what is possible through full integration of UAS into the NAS. In the short term, though, the FAA established a part 107 waiver team to receive applications from operators to allow safe operations under specific conditions when a part 107 regulation is waived. When evaluating a waiver application, the FAA considers the specific operation, operator, and circumstances. This approach makes it possible to allow operations that would otherwise contravene the regulations. Here are the sections of part 107 that may be waived:
- Operation from a moving vehicle or aircraft (§ 107.25)*
- Daylight operation (§ 107.29)
- Visual line of sight aircraft operation (§ 107.31)*
- Visual observer (§ 107.33)
- Operation of multiple small unmanned aircraft systems (§ 107.35)
- Yielding the right of way (§ 107.37(a))
- Operation over people (§ 107.39)
- Operation in certain airspace (§ 107.41)
- Operating limitations for small unmanned aircraft (§ 107.51)
*No waiver of this provision will be issued to allow the carriage of property of another by aircraft for compensation or hire.
As long as the FAA determines that the operations listed above can be conducted safely, the agency can issue a Certificate of Waiver for that operation. As an example, let’s say you have a client who wants aerial photos of a property at night. Section 107.29 does not permit this operation, but it may be possible to accommodate the operation under specific conditions (i.e., conduct some training on nighttime illusions, have an anticollision light installed, etc.).
When you are considering applying for a waiver, you need to remember that some sections of part 107 are not waivable. It is possible that there may be other solutions to allow your operation such as an authorization. But you need to ask, not guess.
When Does It Apply to Me?
Even if you are not receiving compensation, a hobbyist may still find it useful to have a remote pilot certificate. If a friend offers a few bucks for you to take some pictures of his house, you don’t have to worry about it. Or if another friend wants to compensate your drone-facilitated inspection of her home’s roof with a nice dinner out, you won’t have to decline. If you decide you want to use your UAS in your business, no problem.
It’s never a bad idea to expand your knowledge and your aviation repertoire, and the remote pilot certificate is a pretty easy way to do that and perhaps enjoy the bragging rights that come with any new certificate or rating.
Or, you could just follow the lead of famous mountaineer George Mallory, who chose to climb Mount Everest “because it’s there.”

A trio of objects found Spain in early November looked otherworldly enough to capture international headlines. Following sightings of a fireball at dawn on November 3, two black metallic spheres more than 2 feet across turned up in the Southeastern corner of the country. Then a 12-foot strip of metal appeared in a farmer’s field. It looked like space debris but there had been no report from NASA or any of the world’s space agencies that anything was supposed to be reentering the atmosphere at that time. Authorities who track thousands of pieces of space junk said the three mystery objects matched nothing in the known universe.
Some suggested aliens, others a hoax.
It might have remained a mystery forever if not for a small band of highly skilled hobbyists who track satellites, including the classified ones. The space sleuths solved the case using data they keep on the orbits of secret “black” satellites and the rockets used to launch them, the position of the fireball and location of the debris. That led them to identify the likely source of the weird stuff as a U.S. Centaur rocket that had been careening around the planet since 2008 when it was used to boost a spy satellite. Here’s part of a detailed account posted by Ted Molczan, a Toronto-based satellite tracker.
A re-entering Centaur rocket body was the source of three COPV spheres and a large piece of debris, discovered in Spain following pre-dawn sightings of a fireball on Tuesday, November 3, 2015. The Centaur was the upper stage of the Atlas-V rocket launched on March 13, 2008 from Vandenberg AFB, that carried the NROL-28 payload for the U.S. National Reconnaissance Office. The Centaur had been discarded in a highly elliptical orbit of the Molniya type. It was more than 12 m long, 3 m in diameter, with an empty mass of 2,100 kg. It had the international designation 2008-010-B, and the USSTRATCOM (U.S. Strategic Command) catalogue number 32707.

Particulate contamination may affect equipment reliability and performance. In the space industry particulate contamination is under very precise control.
Maintaining certain levels of cleanliness is associated with certain costs. Devices in orbit can no longer be cleaned - particles that settle on them and are not removed before launch will remain there and may reduce the performance of optical elements, cooling surfaces, and solar panels. Predicting particle contamination is possible by performing simulations that reflect the conditions during the payload production process, after placing them in the launcher and during the launch phase.
CIM-mes, together with ESA developed a dedicated software tool to simulate particulate contamination before and during the launch phase.
DUSTFLOW can also simulate particulate contamination in cleanrooms. Currently, the software is being extended to cover simulations of lunar dust contamination.
DUSTFLOW contains a Graphical User Interface for simulation setup and postprocessing running on MS Windows and Linux.

Vertical drone flights can be a nerve-wracking experience but if done correctly with all safety aspects and mitigation taken into account. they shouldn't be any more difficult than a standard flight.
In this post, we will point out the key safety considerations for vertical drone flights.
This subject was also covered in our recent podcast 'Safety in Vertical Drone Flights'
Why is Safety Important?
Safety in the drone industry is paramount and should be considered a top priority when planning and executing drone flights.
The drone industry is still only in its infancy, incidents can have a negative impact on the industry moving forward.
Safety typically comes from being process-driven, and the same can be useful for not just safety but high data quality.
What Types Of Vertical Missions Are There?
Tower Missions - Cell / Mobile towers, Water Towers, Chimneys
Facade Missions - Building Facades
Wind Turbine - Utilities
And many more!
What is your method of capture, do you go up or down or go in circles? This all depends on the tower, its construction, and its surroundings.
Perhaps consider using Hammer Missions fly to draw which will allow for accurate drone positioning by marking the tower manually with the drone.
Consider your options when the drone flys to the back of the structure, can you safely move with the drone to see its position, or do you need spotters?
Pre-configure your go-home procedure. The advantage of using Hammer Missions actually makes the drone go above the height of the structure before returning home, mitigating the risk of the drone hitting the tower.
Can you achieve multiple facades in one run or is it safer to do one facade at a time? Consider your options before you fly.
Perhaps consider using Hammer Missions fly to draw which will allow for accurate drone positioning by marking the facade manually with the drone.
Keeping at least 5m from the surface is a good idea - DJI recommends 10m. Don't always trust your onboard obstacle sensors, judge those distances for yourself first.
Always be ready to take manual control in ATTI mode in case of GPS loss.
Buildings block GPS signal, take the drone to a safe height first and then start the mission.
Wind Turbine Inspection
Use the drone to mark the points with Hammer Missions Wind Turbine Mission
One blade at a time or multiple blades at the same time? It's important to think about how you will undertake this and whether it's the safest option.
Automation is good, but manual adjustments can be needed for both safety and data quality!
Pre-flight safety Considerations
It's something all operators should do before every flight to ensure they are mitigating any risk and are operating as safely as they can, the pre-flight safety checks!
Check your GPS and make sure you have a solid signal with adequate satellites
If needed calibrate the drone's compass
Check the signal strength and whether the drone is picking up any magnetic interference.
Have a second landing area in mind in case your designated area becomes compromised.
Check your video feed, is everything as it should be?
Check your surroundings and observe hazards if needed.
A drone in its entirety is just a camera in the air, but anything that could be deemed as a risk has to have an element of safety.
Obviously, drones have built-in safety features but it is up to the operator to take safety and risk mitigation into their own hands and execute a safe operating practice.
Vertical missions are challenging but not impossible, they require patience, and skill but can be a great differentiating factor.

For the first time ever, NASA launched an almost year-long test for deflecting an asteroid on Wednesday, the first planetary defense method of its kind.
Launched at 1:21 a.m. ET, Nov. 24 aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California, NASA’s DART mission will intentionally collide with an asteroid to change its orbit. As Mashable’s Mark Kaufman perfectly put it, they will “slam a spacecraft the size of a vending machine into a space rock the size of a great Egyptian pyramid.”
The DART mission (or Double Asteroid Redirection Test) was built by the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory, and is meant to protect Earth from potential asteroid or comet impacts (though NASA is not currently tracking any, so don’t freak out just yet).
DART’s target is the asteroid system Didymos, specifically a 530-foot-wide (160-metre) moonlet. The system is hanging out near Earth but isn’t a threat, so has been picked for a safe test.
At 2:17 a.m. ET, DART separated from the second stage of the rocket, and mission operators received the first transmission of data, then started to move the spacecraft to a safe spot to deploy its solar arrays.
And it did! It took about two hours, but the spacecraft unfurled its 28-foot-long solar arrays, which will power the craft and NASA’s awesomely named evolutionary xenon thruster — a commercial ion engine, and one of a bunch of tech that’s being tested on this mission for future use.
You’re not going to see any asteroid collisions for a while — it’ll take almost a year. The spacecraft will catch up with Didymos between Sept. 26 and Oct. 1, 2022, and then intentionally body slam it at about 4 miles per second (6 kilometres per second). According to NASA, this impact will cut short the asteroid’s orbit by minutes. After the impact, the asteroid’s changes will be studied and used in future models to determine how effective this method is at averting potential asteroid collisions with Earth.

A comparison of how they plan to get there
Bootprints have not been left on the Moon since the early 1970s, but that will soon change. With NASA’s Artemis and China’s CLEP programs both scheduled to return humans to the Moon before 2030, the two superpowers are apparently in a “race” to the Lunar surface. But this time, who gets there “first” matters little. Instead, this race is about building a sustainable human presence on the Moon. Here is how China’s and America’s approaches differ, and what it means for the future of spaceflight and human progress.
In 2022, NASA test-launched the SLS carrier rocket. The SLS is capable of lofting some 27 tons to the Moon and is derived from hardware left over from the Space Shuttle. It is not reusable and controversial due to its cost, at some $2 Billion per launch, and because it’s largely a rehash of 1970s technology.
China’s launch vehicle will be the ChangZheng-10 or CZ-10. Then CZ-10 will have a similar payload capacity, tossing some 25 tons to the Moon. The key difference is that the CZ-10 will aim to be at least partially reusable, landing back on Earth and caught by a tether system. Although the CZ-10 has not yet flown, key hardware is ready, including the reusable YF-100 engines, and the first flight is planned for 2026. For a detailed look at this rocket, please see my write-up here.
Note that China also developing the far larger CZ-9 rocket, which also aims to be partially reusable but has far greater payload capacity, some 50+ tons to the Moon. The CZ-9 will fly after 2035, alongside the CZ-10, and be used to build a sustainable human presence on the Moon. The design of this rocket is in flux, for more information see my separate write-up.
Both NASA’s and the CNSA’s next-generation spacecraft have already made uncrewed test flights. NASA’s craft, called Orion, is designed to be partially reusable and flew a dress rehearsal in 2022 aboard the maiden flight of the SLS rocket. It will be able to carry 4 astronauts, with its first crewed flight planned for 2024.
Its Chinese counterpart is thus far unnamed, but it too is designed to be partially reusable and underwent its first uncrewed test flight in 2020. Unlike Orion, however, which lands in the ocean, the Chinese craft lands on solid ground using airbags. It can carry up to six astronauts but likely will carry 3-4 on Lunar sorties.
To land on the Moon, NASA has contracted the development of the lunar lander to SpaceX. SpaceX’s proposed Human Landing System, or HLS, is ambitious. To get to the Moon, SpaceX’s own Starship rocket will launch the HLS into Earth orbit, where it will be fuelled by a visiting tanker craft. Once fueled, the lander departs Earth and parks itself in Lunar orbit awaiting visitors from Orion who launch separately on the SLS. In theory, the lander may one day be reusable if it can be refueled again.
Like NASA, China has also chosen to launch the lander separately from the crew. But China’s approach is more conventional, preferring a smaller landing system to shuttle crews to and from the Lunar surface. The as-yet-unnamed Chinese lander includes an expendable propulsion module, thus, it does not appear to be reusable in its current form. A model of the lander was recently unveiled (see above).
Here again, NASA contracted with a private company, called Axiom, to develop the spacesuit needed for the Moon. Axiom recently unveiled its prototype Lunar EVA suit, called the AxEMU. The suit promises reduced cost, greater flexibility, greater capability, and reduced weight when compared with those used on the Apollo missions. Note the final suit will be white, not black and orange as represented.
There is no information about the planned Chinese spacesuit, but it could be a derivative of the existing FeiTian suits used aboard the Chinese Tiangong Space Station. The FeiTian suits themselves are improved versions of the Russian Orlan suits. That said, it’s also possible that China may develop a clean sheet design.

A Different Kind of “Race”
NASA’s 2025 Lunar landing date looks unlikely to hold, with significant work remaining on the HLS in particular. As a consequence, China and the US are locked in a “race” to reach the Moon in the 2026-2029 timeframe. But who gets there “first” is not truly relevant.
Instead, what matters is the sustainability of Lunar exploration and human presence. China’s decision to utilize a partially reusable launch vehicle, as opposed to NASA’s reliance on expensive SLS, arguably makes the Chinese approach more affordable and cost-effective. With that said, NASA will eventually have the opportunity to pivot to privately-developed and reusable alternatives, including SpaceX’s Starship or Blue Origin’s New Glenn as the main carrier vehicle.
In this new “race” to the Moon, there is no one set answer. Competing ideas and approaches is a hallmark of innovation and the human spirit. It brings out the best in us and the best of human ingenuity and creativity. Hopefully, both China and America reach the Moon as planned, setting the stage for a sustainable human presence on the Moon and eventually, beyond. | aerospace |

Mercury is also the smallest planet in the solar system, measuring just 3,032 miles wide at its equator. That makes it only slightly larger than Earth’s moon. Because Mercury is so small and so close to the sun, it is the most elusive of the five planets that are visible to the naked eye.
Is mercury like Mars?
At about three thousand miles in diameter, Mercury is the smallest planet in the solar system. But its core is massive — it accounts for more than three-quarters of the little planet’s diameter, and more than half its mass. So even though Mars is bigger than Mercury, it’s less dense — a rocky planet with a difference.
Why is Mercury the coolest planet?
Mercury rotates very slowly, so its night side spends a consecutively long time in the dark, shielded from the Sun; during those times, it gets down to just 100 Kelvin (−173 °C / −280 °F). That low temperature is incredibly cold, and far colder than any known naturally occurring temperatures here on Earth.
Could a human survive on Mars?
However, the surface is not hospitable to humans or most known life forms due to the radiation, greatly reduced air pressure, and an atmosphere with only 0.16% oxygen. Human survival on Mars would require living in artificial Mars habitats with complex life-support systems.
What are some interesting facts about the planet Mercury?
10 Interesting Facts About Mercury. 1 Longer Day Than Year. It takes Mercury 176 Earth days to complete a rotation around its axis and 88 days to complete a revolution around the Sun, 2 Mercury’s Unique Orbit. 3 Difficult to Spot in the Sky. 4 Mercury Has No Rings or Moons. 5 Second Hottest Planet.
Are there any bits of Mars on Earth?
There are bits of Mars here on Earth! In the past, asteroids hit the Red Planet, sending debris into space. Some of this debris landed on our planet as meteorites. 6) You could jump around three times higher on Mars than you can on Earth. Boing! This is because the planet’s gravity – the force that keeps us on the ground – is much weaker.
Why is Mercury the smallest planet in the Solar System?
Mercury is nearly tidally locked to the Sun and over time this has slowed the rotation of the planet to almost match its orbit around the Sun. Mercury also has the highest orbital eccentricity of all the planets with its distance from the Sun ranging from 46 to 70 million km. Mercury is the smallest planet in the Solar System.
Why is Mercury the hottest planet in the Solar System?
Detailed Mercury Facts. The surface of Mercury which faces the Sun sees temperatures of up to 427°C, whilst on the alternate side this can be as low as -173°C. This is due to the planet having no atmosphere to help regulate the temperature. Mercury is the most cratered planet in the Solar System. | aerospace |

May of you might be interested in knowing how private jet aircraft charter cost is calculate so here are the answers.
Every charter flight is unique and requires careful calculations to reach a final price. However they are several major factors which effect the cost of aircraft charter.
- Type of Aircraft: Per hour rental vary from aircraft to aircraft. For example a chartering a light jet like Cessna Citation CJ2 cost about Rs. 1,40,000/- Per Hour whereas a medium jet like cost about Rs. 3,50,000/- Per Hour.
Per Hour Rental is applicable only when engine is running i.e from engine start to engine switch off.
- Ferry: There are more than 450 airfields in India but not every airfield have a jet aircraft based on it so if you want to fly out of an airfield that don’t have an jet aircraft available you need to get an aircraft ferried to that airfield and the cost of ferry flying time will be borne by you.
- Airport Charges: Airport charges a fee to provide their services. This fee vary from airport to airport and depend on type of aircraft what facilities are provides.
- Watch Hour Extension: Only few aircraft in India operate for 24 hours if you want to fly to an airport outside its operating hours additional charges need to be paid.
- Waiting and Night Halt: If waiting time exceeds couple of hours waiting charges need to be paid to operator. It is charged to cover the cost of crew Boarding, Lodging and transportation.
Depending on the nature of flight there may be other charges which may affect the cost of charter flight apart from the above mentioned charges.
We at Charter Plus always keep our pricing transparent and always strive to offer our esteemed clients best services and prices.

However, there no greater ongoing duty than encouraging a workplace culture that concentrates on the safety of maintenance technicians.
It is quite obvious, complacency is one of the biggest risk factors and greatest threats to aircraft maintenance. Everything starting from wearing appropriate equipment to using correct aircraft equipment is the final output of a technician to taking a responsible decision at any particular time. Using an A&P mechanic toolkit is one of the best things to apply for securing technicians’ safety purposes.
In this writing post, we will outline some of the risk factors involves in aviation workplaces and figure out some essential paths to combat complacency.
General Aircraft Maintenance Safety Problems
Sleepiness and Fatigue: Irregularity of your work schedule may create insomnia among your mechanics. Lack of sleep along with strenuous maintenance can lead you workers’ mental breakdown.
Stress: If there is no work-life balance then the stress level will automatically get high and it creates distractions at work. If a mechanic does not pay much attention to maintenance operation or get distracted then a fatal accident might happen.
Medical Issues: Mechanics can also go through serious medical problems like cardiovascular, and gastrointestinal for irregular working hours.
Age: Senior employees will suffer at old age whenever they face any irregular work time.
Get Ready for Aircraft Maintenance Safety
Applying an A&P mechanic toolkit is one of the best paths to avoid any kind of accident and secure good quality aircraft maintenance. In detail, planning is really necessary along with certain worker safety training programs could be the best way to keep your crew vigilant and educated.
Risk Management Practices Review:
At the working hours, workers must give their 100% to keep the mind clear from any kind of distraction to the work. Even sometimes any senior mechanic’s attention moves far away. Hence, risk management practices help them to concentrate on tasks and work securely to eliminate severe accidental chances.
Observe Correct Procedures:
Maintenance technicians must observe and obey a particular data and process at the time performing any maintenance operation. All service manuals included in an A&P mechanic toolkit are vital references to follow at task operation.
Apply Safety Signs:
A reminder of safety measurements are a brilliant idea to display different signs to provide a basic reminder to mechanics. It has included wearing a safety harness while working on fuselages and wings. It is a consistent and cost-effective method to take mechanics’ maintenance safety codes in the front row.
Build up Team Communication:
You must consider workers’ safety prior to all, hence, always arrange safety meetings daily and discuss any issues related to security measurements. Therefore, sharing vital information and communication with your workers will help you move forward being proactively rather than reactively.

When it was first inducted in 2013, India became the first country outside the United States to get P-8I aircraft.
The aircraft is suitable for long-range anti-submarine warfare (ASW), anti-surface warfare (ASuW), and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) missions.
It has been designed as a “multi-mission aircraft” with technology such as state of the art sensors, proven weapons systems, and a globally recognised platform.
The first model of the aircraft flew in 2009. It has been serving in US Navy since 2013. The aircraft has been chosen by armies of six other countries apart from USA and India.
There are two variants of aircraft-- the first is P-8A Poseidon for US Navy and other countries such as Australia, UK, and Japan etc. The version used by India is P-8I.
Surveillance and reconnaissance
Search and rescue
Use in India
The aircraft was used in eastern Ladakh in 2020 and 2021, during the standoff with China, to keep an eye on Chinese troops and their manoeuvres.
These aircrafts have replaced the ageing Soviet/Russian Tupolev Tu-142s. The existing aircrafts are placed in Tamil Nadu.
They have the ability to fly as high as 41,000 ft. They have low turnaround time for transmitting data of surveillance.
The twin-engine aircraft weighs about 85,000 kg, and has a top speed of 789 km/hour. It has a range of 1,200+ nautical miles.

The Swiss Air Force's aerobatic team, known as the Patrouille Suisse was due to pass over Langenbruck, honouring the centenary of Oskar Bider's death – the first person to fly over the Alps in both directions, in 1913.
The Red Arrows were given the approval to perform after being granted a Public Display Authority (Picture: MOD).
However, the aerial display team missed the birthplace of the flying pioneer, 100 years after his passing.
Instead, the squadron headed toward the festival tents of Mümliswil’s 31st North West Yodelling festival.
Those attending were then treated to an accidental display by the Patrouille Suisse's F-5E Tiger II aircraft, which it is thought did not contain GPS technology.
The Swiss Defence Ministry has apologised for the error. | aerospace |

“NASA has adjusted the targeted dates for a cryogenic demonstration test and to the next launch opportunities for Artemis I…. The agency will conduct the demonstration test no earlier than Wednesday, September 21, and has updated its request for a launch opportunity September 27, a NASA statement read.
This just in: Our #Artemis I flight test around the Moon will launch no earlier than Sept. 27, with a backup opportunity of Oct. 2 under review.
— NASA (@NASA) September 12, 2022
The space agency has canceled the planned launch of Artemis 1 mission atop a Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and the Orion spacecraft twice in the past week, primarily over a liquid hydrogen leak.
The updated dates represent careful consideration of multiple logistical topics, including the additional value of having more time to prepare for the cryogenic demonstration test, and subsequently more time to prepare for the launch, the statement said.
The dates also allow managers to ensure teams have enough rest and to replenish supplies of cryogenic propellants, it added.
If the launch takes place on September 27, Orion’s return to earth will be possible on November 5.
NASA on September 3 postponed its attempt to blast off its massive 30-story rocket to the moon: “The Artemis I mission to the Moon has been postponed. Teams attempted to fix an issue related to a leak in the hardware transferring fuel into the rocket, but were unsuccessful,” the tweet read. | aerospace |

An Israeli spacecraft with the secret recipe for Austin's Kerbey Queso aboard has apparently crashed on the lunar surface, the city's KEYE-TV reported.
The robotic craft, which launched via SpaceX Falcon rocket in February, was trying to make history as the first privately funded lunar mission but lost contact and crashed shortly before it was set to touch down.
On board was a letter from Austin Mayor Steve Adler with the never-before-published recipe for the popular queso, among a vast archive of documents laser-etched into a radiation-proof disk that had been intended for the Lunar Library.
"We choose to send queso to the Moon — and maybe someday chips as well, not because these things are easy, but because they are hard," Adler told the station in February, evoking a famous JFK quote. "The challenge to eat queso in zero gravity is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one we intend to win, among other key challenges, like next time remembering the chips."
Scientists had planned to use a lunar lander to place the disk, which included 25,000 books and an entire copy of Wikipedia, on the moon's surface.
"If at first you don't succeed, try, try again," Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said.
Only the U.S., China and the former Soviet Union have achieved moon landings, according to the BBC, pegging the Israeli project's cost at about $100 million.
The project was a joint effort between privately funded non-profit SpaceIL and Israel Aerospace Industries, the network said. | aerospace |

During last week’s flight, a stewardess repeatedly announced over the P.A. system that the final destination of the route was “occupied Palestine.”
Passengers were incensed by the attendant’s unwillingness to correct herself and were threatened with arrest after attempting to photograph her.
Ryanair subsequently apologized for the ordeal, describing it as an “innocent mistake.”
“A junior crew member on this flight from Bologna to Tel Aviv (10 June) made a routine descent [announcement] mistakenly saying ‘Palestine’ instead of ‘Tel Aviv.’ This was an innocent mistake with no intent and was immediately corrected and apologized for by the senior crew member on board,” the airline said in a statement to the London-based Jewish Chronicle.
In a subsequent letter to the Simon Wiesenthal Center, Ryanair’s CEO said he was “100% satisfied that this was an innocent mistake with no political overtones or intent.” | aerospace |

The test will ensure that NASA’s Orion crew capsule can safely escape from a catastrophic failure on launch.
To save time and money, NASA chose not to use parachutes for the capsule. The test flight begins at 7 a.m. EDT (1100 GMT) from Florida’s Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. After one minute of the test, the abort motor fired, pulling the capsule from the booster about six miles (10 kilometers) up and it crashed into the Atlantic at 300 mph (480 kph) as planned. The test lasted for about three minutes.
“It looked beautiful from here,” Ashley Tarpley, NASA’s range flight safety lead for today’s test, said during a NASA broadcast of the procedure. “I think that was excellent, we could not have hoped for a better kind of day. It’s just wonderful.”
This was the second abort test for Orion, conducted at a speed of more than 800 mph (1,300 kph). The first, in New Mexico in 2010, was lower and slower.
NASA is aiming to land the astronauts on the moon in 2024, four years earlier than originally planned, using its still-in-development Space Launch System, or SLS, rocket. NASA is aiming to launch both the Space Launch System and Orion, together, on Artemis 1.
Artemis 1, will send an uncrewed Orion on the moon is aimed to launch next summer. Artemis 2, the first crewed flight of the system, will follow in 2022 if all goes according to plan. | aerospace |

Nasa has launched a mission that will see a spacecraft crash into an asteroid in a bid to smash it off course.
The double asteroid redirection test (Dart) will test defence technologies for preventing a hazardous asteroid impacting Earth, the first mission of its kind for the agency.
Here is everything you need to know about it.
How will the Dart mission work?
The aim of the mission is to prove that a spacecraft can autonomously navigate to a target asteroid and intentionally collide with it – called a kinetic impact – at roughly four miles per second (six kilometres per second).
Dart’s target is Dimorphos, an asteroid ‘moonlet’ which orbits a larger asteroid named Didymos.
Once launched, Dart will deploy roll out solar arrays (Rosa) to provide the solar power needed for its electric propulsion system, an evolutionary method of drive which should add significant flexibility to the mission timeline.
Dart will intercept Didymos’ moonlet in late September 2022, when the Didymos system is within 11 million kilometers (7 million miles) of Earth.
The collision will change the speed of the moonlet in its orbit around the main body by a fraction of 1%.
But this will change the orbital period of the moonlet by several minutes – enough to be observed and measured using ground-based telescopes and planetary radar on Earth.
Will the mission prevent Armageddon?
Neither Dimorphos nor Didymos are a threat to Earth.
But Nasa says the objects are a perfect testing ground should an Earth-threatening asteroid be discovered in the future.
While no known asteroid larger than 140 metres in size has a significant chance of hitting Earth for the next 100 years, only about 40% of those asteroids have been found as of October 2021.
How can I watch the launch?
Dart launched at 6.20am UK time on Wednesday 24 November on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California, in the US.
Nasa provided coverage of the both the pre-launch activities and the launch itself.

China’s J-20 stealth fighter designer promises his aircraft will be a battlefield ‘Trump card’. SMARTER. Better informed. Highly automated. China is striving to prepare for combat. And its new stealth fighters are on the front line. This will allow it to “seize air superiority” in the Asia-Pacific, state media claims. And it’s thinking further ahead. Beijing state media mouthpiece Global Times says the National People’s Congress (NPC) deputy and chief designer of the new J-20 stealth fighter, Yang Wei, told a press conference he would “create more surprises.” “There will be more surprises in future fighter jets, which will be more mechanised, information-equipped and smarter,” Yang told the gathering. “Such a jet could function in many areas, in many battles, and we’ll have our own ‘Trump cards’.”His J-20 design is already undergoing upgrades, the report says, with new high-thrust engines and next-generation electronics topping the priority list. “The advanced series could help China seize air superiority in the Asia-Pacific region and safeguard national security when facing containment from the US, Japan, Australia and India,” military analyst Song Zhongping is quoted as saying. But Beijing is not placing all its eggs in one basket. China’s next generation of stealth fighters is already being designed, and it insists this will leapfrog Beijing from being a “follower” to a “leader” in their development. LEADING EDGE Last year, China made a significant step forward in its bid to equal — and eventually surpass — United States air superiority. According to Beijing’s state media, its first stealth fighter entered fully operational, frontline service in October. This puts it in second place. Before now, only the United States has had a fully operational ‘fifth generation’ fighter — the F-22 Raptor. Russia’s stealth fighter — the T-50 PAK-FA — appears to have stalled in its development. And the US ‘export’ stealth fighter, the F-35, continues to suffer protracted delays. But the J-20 will now likely become a regular feature in the games of cat-and-mouse being played out over the South China and East China seas. And it’s likely the most capable aircraft deployed by any nation in the region — giving it a significant edge over the Japanese, Korean and Indian air forces. So what exactly is the J-20, and how does it compare with other modern combat aircraft? According to Washington defence think-tank the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS): “Designed for enhanced stealth and maneuverability, the J-20 has the potential to provide China with a variety of previously unavailable air combat options and enhance its capability to project power.” OUT OF THE BLUE The Chengdu J-20 is not only China’s first operational stealth fighter. It’s one of its first fully indigenous combat jet designs. Its appearance in 2011 stunned the military aviation world. Earlier home-built aircraft either owed much of their design to Russian sources, or were direct copies. That China was able to advance so far, so fast, in its quest to attain “fifth generation” stealth fighter capability seemed virtually impossible. But it was done. And now it’s operational. China declared the first deliveries of operational J-20s were made to the People’s Liberation Army Air Force in March last year. It took part in a major military parade in July. In October, state media declared it operational and “officially commissioned into military service, releasing a promotional video boasting of its capabilities as it celebrates the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. International defence analysts have since tracked recent video footage of its first operational deployment to the borders of India. WHAT IS THE J-20 The multi-role J-20 offers the People’s Liberation Army Air Force the ability to penetrate defended airspace to deliver its payload of weapons. It also allows the fighter to range deep over the Pacific — unseen — to intercept the radar and refuelling aircraft so vital to the tactics of its contemporaries. It offers key modern features including stealth, advanced digital avionics and supersonic cruising speeds. Its designer, Yang Wei, says its canard configuration (with small fins in front of the main wings) gives the aircraft improved stealth while maintaining manoeuvrability and supersonic speeds. “The design allows the J-20 to fly further and with greater bomb load,” he told the Global Times. It can do all these things because it claims to be a “fifth generation” aircraft design. “The J-20 is the first Chinese aircraft to fit this description, and it may serve as a critical asset for both the air force and the navy,” the CSIS report reads. CSIS analysis of China’s large (20.5m long) stealth fighter shows it to be — at least on paper — a true competitor to the United States’ older F-22 Raptor stealth fighter

The flight was going to Oman’s Muscat from India’s Jaipur and carried 150 passengers. The plane was caught in the middle of a weather pattern, followed by lightning, while it was flying over Karachi.
The pilot initiated an emergency protocol to broadcast ‘Mayday’ to nearby stations.
The ATC responded to the captain’s call and directed it through the dense air traffic for the remaining journey. | aerospace |

My son’s 3rd birthday was last Saturday so we decided to venture off to The Hiller Aviation Museum in San Carlos, CA. He is obsessed with airplanes so what better way to celebrate his day!!
The museum was founded by helicopter pioneer Stanley Hiller Jr. and opened to the public in June 1998. He understood the impact the Bay Area could have on aviation with its pioneering attitude and wanted to build a museum that could house aviation technology while providing a place where aviation artifacts could be housed while enriching the public’s lives.
The cost of admission is a LITTLE steep for my taste but it was my boy’s bday so the world was his oyster ($18 for adults, $11.00 for Seniors (Age 65+) $11.00 for youths (5-17) and for FREE Children (4 and under) with paid adult). If you have a AAA card you can get $1 off per ticket!
There are SO many different airplanes to check out along the way! Here are some we took pictures of during our visit!
Along with the TONS of airplanes on display are the many workshops they have available. The Invention Lab has a Parachutes lab that is open until Dec 2nd and gives kids the chance to investigate air resistance using hands-on wind tunnels (Recommended for ages 3 and up).
The Flight Sim Zone costs $4 along with museum admission and gives you expert help from once of the museum volunteer pilots. You are given the opportunity to discover how airplanes move in three-dimensions with your hands at the controls. You can take a virtual flight across the Bay and see the world from the unique perspective of a pilot (open on Saturdays and Sundays from 11-2 pm).
The Drone Plex gives you a chance to observe drone demonstrations, take the controls of a realistic drone simulator and pilot an actual drone in the Drone Plex flight center during Try and Fly. You can even purchase one to take home if interested!
As for our day, we took advantage of enthralling ourselves in all the rich airplanes we were fortunate to see on display. A list of all aircraft they have can be found here. We got to see The SpaceShipOne replica, The Thaden T-1 Argonaut, a Hiller “Flying Platform” Model 1031 and so much more.
My son got the chance to sit in a replica of the US Navy Blue Angels and played with the controls which had him so excited!! Watching him light up all day was worth the admission fee for sure.
There were even airplanes that you could sit in to get an experience of being a true pilot!
Overall, we had a very educational and exciting day with the kids. I would recommend this to anyone with a small child who loves airplanes or who is looking to learn more about aviation. This museum is dedicated to teaching through hands on experiences, simulations, workshops and SO much more! Take a trip to Hiller Aviation when you have the chance…you will not be disappointed! Thank you so much for reading folks! | aerospace |

It turned out to be something of a jet meeting with Richard Taylor having a successful maiden flight with the A10 Warthog
and Richard Bowler bringing a whole car load of jets, including a Grumman Panther fitted with a Wren 80 turbine.
Sadly the wind prevented a test flight, limiting him to taxi runs.
Ah well…..something to look forward to next time. | aerospace |

The service is gearing up to recruit approximately 450 warrant officers, in grades W-1 through W-5, for the new aerial vehicle operator (AVO) warrant officer specialty, designated 737X, over the next six to 10 years, according to a Navy news release.
“AVOs will start out operating the MQ-25 Stingray, the Navy’s first carrier-based unmanned aerial vehicle, which is expected to join the fleet with an initial operating capability in 2024,” Capt. Christopher Wood, aviation officer community manager at the Bureau of Naval Personnel in Millington, Tennessee, said in the release.
Navy Recruiting Command will not start accepting applications for AVO accessions until fiscal 2022, however. Applications will be open to enlisted sailors already in the fleet, as well as “street-to-fleet” warrants, the Navy said.
Those accepted will head to Officer Candidate School in Newport, Rhode Island, to become designated as Warrant Officer 1, followed by basic flight training to receive their “wings of gold” and receive the AVO designator. They will also undergo advanced training on the MQ-25 aircraft.
Warrant officers fit the bill because AVOs will likely advance as technical specialists during their Navy careers as they complete repetitive assignments.
“Unlike traditional Navy Chief Warrant Officers, the majority of these officers will be accessed much younger and trained along the lines of current Naval Aviators and Naval Flight Officers in the unrestricted designators,” Wood said.
“However, Naval Aviators and Naval Flight Officers require assignments that progress in tactical and leadership scope to be competitive for promotion, while warrant officer AVO’s will be technical specialists and spend their careers as operators,” Wood said.
Down the line, these warrant officers may also become trained to operate other Navy unmanned aerial vehicles, such as the MQ-4C Triton, the service said.
The Navy announced in 2018 that Boeing was being awarded an $805 million contract for the design, development, fabrication, test and delivery of four MQ-25 aircraft.
The Navy is planning on acquiring more than 70 Stingrays, with the aircraft reaching initial operational capability by 2024.
In September 2019, the MQ-25 participated in its first test flight. Just last week, the Navy and Boeing announced that the MQ-25 T1 test asset had completed its first flight using an aerial refueling store at MidAmerica St. Louis Airport in Mascoutah, Illinois, with Boeing test pilots.
Boeing said that it employed the Cobham ARS for the flight, noting that the ARS is the same as the one that F/A-18s utilize for air-to-air refueling as well.
“Having a test asset flying with an ARS gets us one big step closer in our evaluation of how MQ-25 will fulfill its primary mission in the fleet — aerial refueling,” Capt. Chad Reed, the U.S. Navy’s unmanned carrier aviation program manager, said in a Boeing news release. “T1 will continue to yield valuable early insights as we begin flying with F/A-18s and conduct deck handling testing aboard a carrier.” | aerospace |

The document has been named the “Artemis Accords” after NASA’s renewed Artemis moon mission program that plans to put not only humans but also a space station on the moon during the next decade.
Last year NASA requested funding of $1.6 billion to begin the moon mission. The mission that is currently planned for 2024 includes a woman astronaut.
NASA Administrator confirmed the plans last May in a tweet stating: “Our #Moon2024 mission is being named after Artemis, who was a sister to Apollo and goddess of the Moon. We’re excited to be landing the first woman and next man on the surface of the Moon by 2024.“
The president also famously tweeted in June of last year that NASA “should be focused on the much bigger things we are doing, including Mars (of which the Moon is a part), Defense and Science!”
On April 6, 2020, with the rising presence of COVID-19, President Trump signed an executive order titled, “Encouraging International Support for the Recovery and Use of Space Resources,” affirming several points about continued moon exploration and exploitation.
The order said, “Americans should have the right to engage in commercial exploration, recovery, and use of resources in outer space, consistent with applicable law.”
The order also noted, “The United States is not a party to the Moon Agreement. Further, the United States does not consider the Moon Agreement to be an effective or necessary instrument to guide nation states regarding the promotion of commercial participation in the long-term exploration, scientific discovery, and use of the Moon, Mars, or other celestial bodies.”
The Moon Agreement or Moon Treaty is formally called the “Agreement Governing the Activities of States on the Moon and Other Celestial Bodies.” It is a multilateral framework created in 1979 that bans the military use of celestial bodies, established a blueprint for laws governing the responsible use of the Moon’s resources, and bans altering the natural balance of celestial objects.
Most nations are non-parties including China, Germany, Russia, U.K., and the U.S. Only France, Guatemala, India, and Romania are signatories with 18 other nations as parties.
The U.S. is, however, a party to the 1967 Outer Space Treaty, which is formally called the Treaty on Principles Governing the Activities of States in the Exploration and Use of Outer Space, including the Moon and Other Celestial Bodies. The treaty is predominantly a non-armament treaty prohibiting the weaponization of space including a prohibition of nuclear weapons in space.
The 1967 treaty does describe the peaceful use of space while establishing not only free exploration by all nations but also noting that nations may not claim sovereignty of outer space or any celestial body
The Executive Order seemingly rebuts the 1967 treaty, making clear that “Outer space is a legally and physically unique domain of human activity, and the United States does not view space as a global commons.” The “commons” refers to both English common law and economic theory that identifies cultural and natural resources as available and accessible to all members of society, including natural and a habitable earth.
In 2015, the 114th U.S. Congress passed the “Commercial Space Launch Competitiveness Act” explicitly permitting U.S. citizens and industries to “engage in the commercial exploration and exploitation of space resources” including water and minerals.
And the current executive order affirms that law noting that the federal government will “require partnership with commercial entities to recover and use resources, including water and certain minerals, in outer space.”
Dr. Scott Pace, Deputy Assistant to the President and Executive Secretary of the National Space Council released a statement as the executive order was signed stating:
“As America prepares to return humans to the Moon and journey on to Mars, this Executive Order establishes U.S. policy toward the recovery and use of space resources, such as water and certain minerals, in order to encourage the commercial development of space.”
The April Executive Order also commissions a report on the use of space resources, and it is presumably the impetus for creating the Artemis Accords.
The Accord reportedly proposed “safety zones” around future moon bases to prevent interference or damage from other nations. Reuters reports that the Accords also describe a framework for allowing private companies to own lunar resources for mining.
The current Accord is also part of a longer campaign exposing Trump’s interest in shaping space policy most famously with the creation of the “Space Force,” the newest U.S. military branch, and the latest since 1947 when the Air Force was created.
But the lunar mining plans are also consistent with the administration’s earthly mining interests such as opening more federal land for fossil fuel exploration and drilling despite the recent collapse of the oil market.
One source told Reuters that the Artemis Accords are not about claiming moon territory. Rather, the source stated, the safety zones mentioned will safeguard coordination between nations or companies operating in lunar regions without needing sovereign areas.
Assuming they exist, the ironically named Artemis Accords may reflect the U.S.’s long-term interest in securing lunar and celestial resources. Reuter’s unnamed source added: “The idea is if you are going to be coming near someone’s operations, and they’ve declared safety zones around it, then you need to reach out to them in advance, consult and figure out how you can do that safely for everyone.” | aerospace |

It single-handedly started the boom in science fiction movies of that decade, including Pal's own When Worlds Collide (1951), War of the Worlds (1953), and The Conquest of Space (1955). It was loosely based on Robert Heinlein's book Rocketship Galileo (1947).
Although not memorable for its quality of acting or pace of action, Destination Moon revealed an extraordinary optimism about the prospects for the Space Age, and showed, too, how far scientific and technical knowledge had progressed since the days of Melies' Le Voyage Dans la Lunes and Lang's Die Frau Im Mond (Woman in the Moon). The realism of the film was aided by Chesley Bonestell's stunning artwork. Robert Heinlein and Hermann Oberth (who had also worked on Lang's film) served as technical advisors. Although art director Ernest Fergte's impressively fissured lunar surface has since been proved inaccurate, Heinlein's nuclear-powered rocket is still more advanced than anything that has actually been built, and the zero-gravity scenes are remarkable convincing, using techniques that Stanley Kubrick drew on in 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Destination Moon was also perhaps the first movie to realistically not have sounds in the vacuum of space. In particular whenever something was dropped onto the lunar surface, such as a ladder or oxygen tank, this happened in complete silence. The only sounds heard while on the Moon, or external to the rocket was it was traveling through space, were those that came over the crews' suit radios. | aerospace |
https://metingezer.com/why-do-some-hot-air-balloon-flights-get-canceled-in-cappadocia/ | 2024-04-13T18:39:17 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816832.57/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413180040-20240413210040-00724.warc.gz | 0.931528 | 407 | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2024-18__0__10318058 | en | Hot air ballooning in Cappadocia offers an enchanting experience, but it is crucial for enthusiasts to understand that this activity is highly dependent on weather conditions. The possibility of last-minute cancellations exists, and understanding the reasons behind it can help manage expectations and plan accordingly.
Ballooning is inherently a weather-dependent activity. Approximately an hour before the scheduled flight, the pilots and ballooning team, in coordination with Civil Aviation, assess the prevailing weather conditions. This assessment is vital to determine whether the flights can proceed safely. If the weather conditions are deemed unfavorable, all flights scheduled for that day will be canceled.
Factors Leading to Cancellation
Various weather conditions can lead to the cancellation of hot air balloon flights in Cappadocia. These include rain, storms, or strong winds. The safety of the passengers is the top priority, and any adverse weather condition can compromise the integrity of the flight.
Timely Updates and Alternatives
In Cappadocia, receiving timely updates on flight cancellations is essential for passengers to make alternative arrangements. While Cappadocia boasts the highest number of flying days per year worldwide, it is not guaranteed that the balloons will fly every day. The status of the flights is often only confirmed at sunrise, just before the flight, although sometimes cancellations can be announced 24 hours before due to reliable weather forecasts.
For those whose flights are canceled due to inclement weather, options are available. Passengers can choose to receive a full refund or reschedule their flight for the next available day, ensuring that the enchanting experience of ballooning over Cappadocia is not entirely missed.
While hot air ballooning in Cappadocia is a mesmerizing experience, it is important for passengers to be aware of the possibility of cancellations due to weather conditions. Staying informed and understanding the alternatives available can help make the most of your visit to this magical region. | aerospace |

The source site contains the usual copyright claim, hence this small excerpt. Check out the link; well worth the read. And you thought you knew about our Marines…
Excerpt from The History Reader:
“The Marines’ victory helped Hamet Caramanli, Yusuf’s deposed brother, reclaim his rightful throne as ruler of Tripoli. In gratitude, he presented his Mameluke sword to Lieutenant O’Bannon. This famous sword became part of the officer uniform in 1825, and remains the oldest ceremonial weapon in use by U.S. forces today. Derna was the Marines’ first battle on foreign soil. Lieutenant O’Bannon and his men are immortalized in the “Marines’ Hymn”: “From the Halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli, we fight our country’s battles in the air, on land and sea.”

Unable to locate a picture of Nolan’s B-25; this is a similar aircraft from the 345th bomb group restored –
A Tribute to Lt. Col. John J. Nolan
This week, we wanted to share a tribute to a member of the 345th Bomb Group by Nebraska senator Deb Fischer. After World War II ended, Lt. Col. John J. Nolan stayed in the air force, looking to make a positive impact on the lives of other pilots. He had his own brush with death on August 15, 1944 when a fellow pilot’s B-25 hit his own, nearly causing it to crash. As you will read below, Nolan led a productive and interesting life after returning to the States.
“Senator Fischer’s tribute: Mr. President, I rise to honor a Nebraskan who was recently interred at Arlington National Cemetery. Lt. Col. John J. Nolan of Lincoln, NE, was a U.S. Air Force pilot who deserves our respect and gratitude. After the bombing at Pearl Harbor, he gave up a football scholarship at Temple University to enlist in the Army Air Corps in 1943.
During World War II, John was a B-25 aircraft commander with the heralded Air Apaches, 345th Bombardment Group, assigned to the Fifth Air Force operating in the Southwest Pacific.
In this capacity, he flew low-level strafing missions in specially configured B-25s with eight .50-caliber machine guns that were controlled by pilots. He flew in the Black Sunday raid on Hollandia, New Guinea, on April 16, 1944. This raid became the worst operational loss ever suffered by the Fifth Air Force in a single day. [IHRA note: read more about Black Sunday here.]
Following World War II, the Air Force realized more pilots had been lost on instruments than in actual combat. In response, the Instrument Pilot Instruction School was created. John was one of the initial cadre of pilots tasked with providing standardized instrument procedures, techniques, and training methods. These pilots were also required to test and evaluate flight instruments in adverse weather conditions. During this period, he became the B-25 high-time pilot for the entire U.S. Air Force.
John also wrote a substantial part of the instrument flying guidelines, known as Air Force Manual 51-37. Many pilots owe their lives to this manual. As a matter of fact, when his two sons went through pilot training in 1967 and 1973, respectively, his instructions were still in the manual.
John transitioned to F-86s as a part of the Air Force’s newly created All Weather Interceptors. He also served in Japan during the Korean war.
In the 1960s, when commercial aviation was converting to jet-powered aircraft and entering into military airspace at high altitudes, John was assigned to Richards-Gebaur Air Force Base, known as Air Defense Command. He became the Air Force liaison to the FAA Central Region, and he was tasked with developing and coordinating procedures to ensure safe arrival and departures within this shared airspace. In this capacity, John was also responsible for maintaining military readiness and operational capabilities.
Upon his retirement in October 1963, John was chosen to serve as the Midwest recruiter for the Air Force Academy.
John dedicated his entire life to his beloved U.S. Air Force. Not only did he serve honorably, John was also an integral participant in so many of the milestones that are now a part of Air Force history.
John never lost his love of flight. He continued to fly well into his late eighties in his restored Fairchild PT 19/26, which is the same aircraft he initially learned to fly in as a cadet in the Army Air Corps.
Lt. Col. John Nolan’s entire life was for God and country. He married Marie Di Giambattista on January 6, 1944, before he was assigned overseas. Together, they raised four children. Marie sacrificed much, as so many of our military families experience today, moving 23 times in John’s 20-year career. They were married 71 years. Only 27 days after Marie passed, John died this past July 3, 2015, at the age of 94.
We owe a debt of gratitude to John Nolan and his family. He led an extraordinary life at a time when our country needed people like him the most. Through all of this, he remained humble. We will never forget his sacrifices and patriotism.
Just released this year, the story of the heavy cruiser U.S.S. Indianapolis, while historically accurate, had fictional characters added; as if this tragedy needed any more dramatization than the grisly events which occurred. They carried the components for Little Boy to the island of Tinian on July 26, 1945, the first Atomic Bomb later dropped on Hiroshima.
I long knew of this story, but simply couldn’t bear to describe images of shark attacks, necessary to demonstrate how much the survivors went through. Their mission was so secret, they were denied a proper escort to protect from submarine attack, because “they weren’t there”. A distress signal they sent was ignored as a Japanese ruse. While over 900 of the 1,100 plus crew survived the sinking, only some 300 were rescued. Hundreds were killed by repeated shark attacks.
U.S.S. Indianapolis Memorial
Ross S. Carter
Instead of just putting an image of his book in my sidebar, I decided to make this post. Ross Carter’s personal account, which covers everything from their training in North Africa, to the Battle of the Bulge, will grab you by the throat and won’t let go.
I can still recall bits and pieces of his story, from a somewhat threadbare memory of that one read. While in North Africa, during a training jump, an unfortunate soldier landed in a damn cactus, and was impaled. He died from his injuries. What a grisly memory to carry around… It remains one of the most compelling accounts on the vicious battles, and horrors of war I could recommend.
I was further stunned to discover (via a bio on the book’s back cover) that having surviving all of this, he died of Cancer two years later. Life can hand out very cruel blows.

The Russians agreed to allow him to land at a base, but made clear that he would be "locked-on" by fire control radar, and if this was some sort of trick, to sneak in and attack, he would be blown out of the sky. The pilot agreed and Russian forces engaged fire-control "lock-on" to the jet.
The pilot flew precisely as instructed, and landed at a Russian base, surrendering himself and his plane.
Turns out, he was not merely a pilot, but a Flight Commander!
No one was hurt during the surrender. Russia now has possession of the attack aircraft, similar to the one shown in the FILE PHOTO above. | aerospace |

This, observers argued, is a major development in the country’s civil air transport system.
Releasing a written statement on Thursday, the carrier said they will initially fly between Tokat, Zonguldak, Selçuk, Nevşehir, Alanya and Edremit. Borajet said they expected to provide a swift mode of transportation to passengers traveling from these centers, where there are limited or no airport facilities, to the nearest airport.
Having been on the Turkish civil aviation industry’s agenda for some time, the charter flights project is expected to provide the efficient operation of some of the country’s vacant airports. With the project, the government expects to boost business in certain tourism and trade hubs by offering a fast air transport option. Meanwhile, two other Turkish aviation firms are reportedly preparing to start their air taxi services, a critical step to creating a widespread air taxi net across Turkey.
The state has spent a great deal of money to maintain airports that were built without due planning and are not used today for lack of sufficient demand. İstanbul’s Sabiha Gökçen International Airport, for instance, was one such airport until recently. | aerospace |

QUAN Weizhuo,FANG Mingxia(College of Aerospace Eng. & Mechanics,Tongji Univ.,Shanghai 200092,China)
To provide support for aircraft flutter control and structure design and so on,the free interface modal synthesis method of dynamic substructure method,which fits for complex structure modeling,is used to divide an aircraft into several substructures considering hypersonic flow and aircraft structure characteristics under supersonic flying condition;considering the actual working condition and manufacture technology of the connecting components between aircraft body and wings,the hysteresis nonlinearity effect generated by the interaction of occasional nonlinear effect and cubic nonlinear effect,and the effect of damping factor on the nonlinearity,a finite element software is used to calculate the parameters of dynamic characteristics and aerodynamic distribution of each substructures,the entire aircraft vibration differential equations are established,and the flutter characteristics are analyzed. The vibration,flutter characteristics and flutter critical situation are analyzed for the designed aircraft under the assumed condition. So the simulation and calculation on the aeroelastic problem of the entire aircraft is implemented. The analysis result indicates that the method can extend the calculation of hypersonic aircraft flutter issue and provide references for the application of dynamic substructure method on flutter study. | aerospace |

WORKING each day to ensure some of the most advanced and formidable aircraft in the world get up into the skies is what pushes Chris Gray out of bed in the morning.
He works as manager of Boeing's Air Combat Electronic Attack Sustainment Program manager at RAAF Base Amberley.
The base is home to 24 F/A-18F Super Hornets and 11 EA-18G Growlers.
Ten years have passed since the first Super Hornets arrived in Ipswich with a decade of partnership between the aerospace company and the Australian air force celebrated today.
A $280 million contract extension was signed earlier this month to take the program through to 2025.
Mr Gray said Australia's Super Hornet fleet had been developed into one of the most advanced multi-role fighters in the world.
"Effectively our job is to enable aircraft to be ready to fly each day," he said.
"I've been on this program for nine years. A lot of our workforce have been on the program since the beginning.
"Ten years ago, Super Hornet was only acquired as a bridging air combat capability.
"It was only intended to have a life in the RAAF for 10 years. Here we are today and it is the premium, multi-role fighter for the Royal Australian Air Force."
In December 2012, the RAAF's 24 Super Hornets achieved final operating capability.
Two years later, No. 1 Squadron deployed Super Hornets on combat operations as part of the strike element for Operation OKRA, which was a key part of the Australian Defence Force's contribution to the international effort to combat the Daesh terrorist threat in Iraq and Syria.
"I remember coming to work on the Monday and was blissfully unaware that the Prime Minister had committed the capability … to commence operations in the Middle East," Mr Gray said.
"The whole deployment from September 2014 to March 2015 was just excellent. Boeing support through that period was 24 hours a day. The aircraft proved itself in an operational context.
"Since 2016, it has been Australians, Boeing Defence Australia, as the prime contractor providing sustainment services. That was a significant milestone."
No.1 Squadron deployed for a second Operation OKRA tour in the Middle East in April 2017.
Mr Gray said he was excited of what was still to come.
"New capabilities are released to the platform every couple of years," he said.
"The Super Hornet continues to evolve to maintain its combat edge.
"I grew up in Ipswich. To live and work, support this capability in the town that I grew up in, that's my life.
"It is fantastic to live in Ipswich and see and hear the aircraft flying around, that's part of the Ipwsich lifestyle.
"People move from Melbourne, Nowra or Darwin … having this capability here draws those people.
"For someone who is passionate about Ipswich, hiring people and having them come and live and work here is super cool." | aerospace |

A. Johnson on CCD images obtained with the Catalina Sky Survey's 0.68-m Schmidt telescope on Nov. 3.5 UT. The new comet has been designated C/2015 V2 (JOHNSON).
Today’s CometWatch entry was taken yesterday by Rosetta’s NAVCAM, on the anniversary of Philae’s historic landing on Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko last year. The image was taken from a distance of 177.7 km; the image scale is 15.1 m/pixel and the image measures 15.5 km across. It has been lightly enhanced to better show the comet’s activity.
On 14 September 2015, Comet 67P/Churyumov Gerasimenko was imaged by Gaia, ESA's billion star surveyor.
ESA’s Rosetta spacecraft has made the first in situ detection of oxygen molecules outgassing from a comet, a surprising observation that suggests they were incorporated into the comet during its formation. This news story is mirrored from the main ESA web portal.
CometWatch this week comprises two NAVCAM images acquired six hours apart on 26 October 2015. The images have been lightly enhanced to reveal some detail of the comet’s activity (the unprocessed images are available at the end of the post). In the six hours that passed Rosetta also moved 2.3 kilometres closer to the comet, resulting in slightly different image scales between the two images.
Today's CometWatch entry was taken by Rosetta’s NAVCAM on 18 October 2015, at 433 km from the nucleus of Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko.
This image of Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko was taken by Rosetta’s NAVCAM on 9 October from a distance of 579 km.
OSIRIS scientists have created a spectacular anaglyph view of a jet seen blasting from the nucleus of Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko in August.
On 28 September, a scientific paper was published in Nature, presenting a view on the formation scenario of Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, based on Rosetta OSIRIS images (read our news report here). The paper, led by Dr Matteo Massironi of the University of Padova, Italy, evaluated two possible models to explain the comet's curious shape: the merging of two cometesimals or the erosion of a single object. Observational data and thorough analysis of the comet's gravity field pointed towards the first of the two hypotheses: 67P/C-G seems to have originated from two separately formed comets that merged at low speed. | aerospace |

Despite commercial aviation being safer now that at any time in the past, many people are still nervous about flying. Symptoms can range from a general feeling of unease a few days before flying, to outright panic and an inability to set foot in an airport.
A lot of flight-related anxiety is as a result of not understanding what is actually happening on an aircraft, or as a result of some previous experience that felt uncomfortable.
Hypnosis can help to make you a happy, professional passenger, to look forward to travelling by air and give you insider knowledge on how flying is still the safest way to travel.

We were cleared to engage the target … and eventually downed the object 15 nautical miles east of the peninsula in Lake Huron. said NORAD Commander General Glen VanHerck. "The fighters were from Madison, Wisconsin, Air National Guard unit."
"We will remain vigilant. We have made enhancements to our radars. The operations this past week have been successful in bringing down these potential threats," said Melissa Dalton, Assistant Secretary Of Defense For Homeland Defense And Hemispheric Affairs.
"I’ve been in contact with DOD regarding operations across the Great Lakes region today. The US military has decommissioned another ‘object’ over Lake Huron. I appreciate the decisive action by our fighter pilots," said Rep. Jack Bergman (R-Michigan).
"The object has been downed by pilots from the US Air Force and National Guard. Great work by all who carried out this mission both in the air and back at headquarters. We’re all interested in exactly what this object was and it’s purpose," said. Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D-Michigan) on Twitter.
Earlier on Sunday, the FAA had announced a "national defense airspace" over part of Lake Michigan. The FAA said it closed down the area to allow the U.S. military to examine a "potential contact" that was soon determined to not be a threat. The FAA last established a national defense airspace over Montana this weekend in reaction to an unidentified flying object.
According to a senior U.S. defense official, the object shot down over Lake Huron was shot down at approximately 20,000 feet, FOX News said. The object was very different from the Chinese spy balloon. It was much smaller, and not maneuverable.
"We cannot rule out that these are weather balloons," a senior US official told FOX News.
The incident on Sunday followed 3 previous "unidentified object" incidents. On Saturday, a U.S. fighter jet shot down an object over Canadian airspace on instructions from NORAD and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. On Friday, an object the "size of a small car" was shot down over Alaska. Another object had been shot down over the East Coast earlier in the week.
In all three recent cases, the United States registered a blip on radar, sent fighter pilots to investigate, and then ordered F-22 fighter pilots to shoot down the object. Pilots were able to give some physical description but no positive identification of the objects, a senior defense official told FOX News. | aerospace |

Do you have a person in your life who is crazy about drones? Wouldn’t it be a great idea to have a few gift ideas floating around that pertain to their specific hobbies? If you’re not into drones yourself, then thinking of a good gift might be pretty difficult. Don’t worry – we’ve got your back.
These drone-related gift ideas are sure to satisfy any drone-crazy person. We’ve also made sure that they range from items that cost less than $20 to those that cost several hundred dollars to make sure that you can give a gift, regardless of your budget. Take a gander of our list of gifts we wouldn’t mind receiving ourselves.
Flying a drone at night is absolutely one of the most exciting things that you can do as a drone pilot. It’s a different level of fun seeing a lighted up drone flying in the darkness or to take aerial photos of the city lights at night. With a bit of skill and the right camera, you might even be able to pull off some light painting.
However, a good lighting kit is a necessity for flying drones at night. It’s not just a safety guideline – it’s the law. While there are dozens of different drone lighting kits out there, we prefer this versatile lighting kit from LUMECUBE. With durable adhesive mounts, these lights can be installed on just about any drone, including ultra-portable models.
One more thing we like about this specific three-piece kit is that it comes with red and green caps. This means that you can install two of these on either side of the drone so that you can always tell which direction the drone is facing, even in darkness. Maintaining orientation is very important in drone flight to make sure that you don’t run into any obstacles.
The LUMECUBE lights are bright enough to comply with FAA visibility standards. They can be set to light up with two different strobe patterns or to give off continuous light. With a lightweight and robust form factor, these are some of the most reliable and flexible drone lights you can get today.
Despite all their advanced technology, drones can still break down. It’s especially problematic when it happens on the field. It only takes one crash or a missed round of maintenance to have a drone’s screw start to loosen or some of its components fall off completely.
When this happens, any drone pilot would be glad to have brought along a complete repair tool kit. While this tool kit isn’t specifically made for drones, it has just about all the tools that a drone pilot is going to need (you can just leave the crimping tool behind).
This tool kit includes a screwdriver set with different Torx, hex, and Philips bits, a precision knife, a flashlight, a ratchet driver, pliers, wire strippers, tweezers, cleaning wipes, a few cable ties, and a roll of insulated tape. All the tools have been demagnetized to prevent any damage to a drone’s sensitive electrical components. The kit also comes with a handy vinyl carrying bag with a zipper enclosure and dedicated elastic bands to hold down each tool.
To be clear, not all these tools may be necessary for a drone pilot. In this case, however, going slightly overboard with preparation may be something that a drone pilot will appreciate if you gave them the tool kit as a gift.
Unlike our usual electronic devices, drones use a different kind of battery called LiPo, or lithium polymer. The main difference of a LiPo battery is that it uses a polymer electrolyte that helps keep it lightweight and compact without sacrificing capacity. There’s a major consequence, though, which is the fact that they are more prone to catching fire or exploding when they get damaged.
If you know a drone pilot who already has several LiPo batteries lying around, then they would certainly appreciate it if you gave them a few LiPo-safe bags. These are specially designed bags made of fire-retardant material that are meant to contain any battery fires, should they happen. LiPo-safe bags may also be necessary for a drone pilot to travel with their LiPo batteries on flights.
This LiPo bag from Hobbymate is a made of a composite material with silicon-coated fiberglass and a layer of heat-blocking aluminum. Not only does it keep any battery fires from spreading, but it also prevents external heat from affecting the temperature of the batteries. It has a zipper enclosure plus a Velcro strap, ensuring that any fires or explosions will be contained inside. With a handy strap, the bag was clearly made for traveling but is equally suitable for charging or long-term storage.
Any experienced drone pilot can tell you that a drone’s camera and gimbal are some of its most fragile components. Not only are they made of precision parts and sensitive electrical components, but they also often sit so close to the ground. This makes them vulnerable to getting damaged by hard landings, uneven terrain, or even the dust kicked off by the drone’s propellers when they start spinning.
This polyurethane landing pad from PGYTECH can be secured to any surface using pegs to provide a perfectly even landing pad for a drone. This prevents any dust, sand, or soil from getting kicked up by your drone. It also gives you an even landing pad where there is none, such as in areas with tall grass. The bright orange color keeps the landing pad very visible even in the dark. There is also a bright blue option.
The double-sided waterproof material is durable enough for sharp terrain features but also isn’t so heavy to be inconvenient to bring around. The landing pad can be folded into a neat little bundle, and it even comes with a carrying canvas bag. If you know a drone pilot who likes flying drones in mountains, beaches, and forests, then this landing pad is going to be an inexpensive but perfect gift.
You may not have heard of it, but drone pilots can now apply for a “drone license” from the FAA. Officially known as the Part 107 remote pilot certificate, this piece of paper is now required by the FAA for drone pilots who wish to use their drones to earn some cash or to help in business.
The thing about earning the drone license is that it’s not the easiest thing in the world. A drone pilot will have to pass a 60-item multiple-choice Part 107 knowledge test before they can be licensed. The test covers aviation-related topics which are certainly outside the boundaries of common knowledge.
If you know a drone pilot who is aspiring to get the Part 107 drone license, then we recommend this online training course from PilotInstitute. Designed by a highly experienced aviation professional who is also a Certified Flight Instructor, the course includes more than 13 hours of instructional videos, more than 300 sample questions, an illustrated cheat sheet, a flashcard app, and access to an exclusive online study group.
All the contents of the course can be accessed either using a computer, laptop, tablet, or smartphone. By paying a one-time fee, a drone pilot can gain lifetime access to the contents of the course which PilotInstitute continues to review and update.
For a limited time, signing up for the Part 107 online training course also gives access to a Drone Maneuvers Mastery course – a $99 value.
Drone pilots get a lot of attention wherever they decide to fly their drones. While the attention is welcome and flattering most times, there’s certainly a point where it can get distracting. This shirt makes light of the situation by listing down the answers to some of the most common questions that drone pilots field every single time from complete strangers.
This is a unisex variant of this shirt, but you can also get it in men’s and women’s sizes. There’s also a long-sleeved version that may come in useful for a drone pilot who likes flying on sunny days. Made of 100% cotton, this shirt is very comfortable in most weathers.
This is an excellent gift for a drone pilot with a good sense of humor. Can it actually help them answer questions from strangers? Perhaps, but even if it doesn’t, you’ll probably get a good laugh. This is a brilliant design that is sure to get a good response from a drone pilot.
If the drone pilot you know is a really special person in your life and you have a huge budget to blow, then why not buy them one of the newest drones to hit the market? The Mavic Mini is the smallest and lightest drone to be developed by the world-leading drone brand DJI and was launched about half a year ago. Among its many appealing qualities is that it does not need to be registered with the FAA before a flight.
There is a lot to be said about the DJI Mavic Mini, and it’s sure to get a very excited response from the drone pilot you are going to gift it to. For such a small drone, the Mavic Mini has a high-quality camera that can record 2.7K videos. The camera is stabilized by a 3-axis mechanical gimbal – something of a rarity on drones in this price range.
The reason we’re listing the Mavic Mini instead of all the other DJI drones is the fact that the drone only costs $399. It looks like a toy drone, but it’s the best toy drone you could buy nowadays. If you’re thinking of giving an actual drone as a gift, then the Mavic Mini is a choice that will impress the drone enthusiast in your life but won’t burn a hole in your pocket.
Giving a drone-shaped cookie cutter may sound silly but come on – who doesn’t love cookies? This 3D-printed cookie cutter from YNGLLC is simply adorable. Not only does it have a mold in the shape of a quadcopter, but it also comes with a stamp so that your cookies will come out embossed with the familiar propellers.
Being 3D printed, this is an exceptionally cheap gift that you can buy. Just remember that it is made of plastic. While it should be food-safe, it should not be exposed to temperatures above 60 °C. This means that it’s also not dishwasher-safe.
This gift may be as simple as it comes, but it would be nice to give it and spend an afternoon baking some cookies. That should be a nice experience for any drone pilot.
If the drone enthusiast in your life owns a DJI drone, then we’re sure that they would appreciate receiving a DJI Care Refresh plan for their drone. DJI Care Refresh is DJI’s in-house drone insurance policy. This allows a drone pilot to get a replacement drone should theirs get damaged beyond repair. The replacement drone will not be free but will only cost a small fraction of the price of a brand new model.
A good drone insurance policy may be one of the best things that a drone pilot can have. When flying a drone, the drone always runs the risk of crashing and getting damaged. Depending on how bad the damage is, the drone could be in a state where it can no longer be repaired. Having drone insurance gives a drone pilot some peace of mind whenever they take their drone out on a flight.
Just keep in mind that like any other insurance policy, DJI Care Refresh comes with strict terms. The policy doesn’t cover water damage and the broken drone must be sent to DJI before they will provide a replacement. It’s best to give DJI Care Refresh for a brand new drone, but there’s still a way to sign up for a policy for drones that are a little older.
Drones are best used when you travel with them. Just imagine all the aerial photos you can take if you take a drone with you on a hike, a trip to the beach, or a vacation to another country. However, there’s still the issue of how you’re going to bring the drone including all of its accessories.
This is where a high-quality drone backpack comes in, such as this one from LowePro. The DroneGuard drone backpack comes with a hardshell exterior that protects its contents from impact. The flexible dividers inside can be customized to create snug compartments for the drones and its accessories while the other pockets provide easy-to-access storage for wires, tablets, and phones. You can even fit an entire laptop in there.
If you’re getting this backpack for a drone enthusiast you know, just take note that it only fits ultra-portable drones like those from the DJI Mavic series. Other DroneGuard versions can fit the Phantom 4 Pro (DroneGuard Pro BP 400) and the Inspire (DroneGuard Pro Inspired).
The DroneGuard BP 250 is a bit pricey as far as backpacks (and gifts) go, but you certainly get what you pay for with this product. It’s smartly designed, durable, comfortable, and provides ergonomics in the way that only backpacks can.
The mere thought of you looking for gift ideas for the drone enthusiast in your life is endearing enough, and we’re sure that they are going to appreciate your gift, whichever one you chose. We hope that we’ve given you some good ideas with this list and that they reciprocate the gesture eventually! | aerospace |

Of the five Boeing 787s that Air Europa is adding to its fleet, four are leased from Norse Atlantic Airways. This new Norwegian airline has recently had to adjust its plans and is moving part of its fleet to Air Europa.
In addition to commissioning additional Boeing 787s, Air Europa will gradually add six Boeing 737s to its fleet in the coming months. These aircraft are intended for domestic and intra-European flights.
In the course of this year, Air Europa will maintain a network of 23 destinations on the American continent from its home base in Madrid. For the first time, the number of distant destinations has returned to the level it was before the corona outbreak. Air Europa specializes in flights to Latin America and operates several routes to North America.
The long-haul flights connect in Madrid with flights to 33 destinations in Europe. From Schiphol, Air Europa flies to Madrid twice a day, usually with Boeing 787s. | aerospace |

113. The main physical difference between kerosine and wide-cut fuels is their degree of volatility, the latter type of fuel having a higher volatility, thus increasing the problem of vapour locking and boiling. With kerosine-type fuels, the volatility is controlled by distil-lation and flash point, but with the wide-cut fuels it is controlled by distillation and the Reid Vapour Pressure (R.V.P.) test. In this test, the absolute pressure of the fuel is recorded by special apparatus with the fuel temperature at 37.8 deg. C. (100 deg. F.)
114. Kerosine has a low vapour pressure and will boil only at extremely high altitudes or high tempera-tures, whereas a wide-cut fuel wilt boil at a much lower altitude.
115. The fuel temperature during flight depends upon altitude, rate of climb, duration at altitude and kinetic heating due to forward speed. When boiling does occur, the vapour loss can be very high, especially with wide-cut fuels, and this may cause vapour locking with consequent malfunctions of the engine fuel system and fuel metering equipment.
116. To obviate or reduce the risk of boiling, it is usual to pressurize the fuel tanks. This involves maintaining an absolute pressure above the fuel in excess of its vapour pressure at any specific temperature. This may be accomplished by using an inert gas or by using the fuel vapour pressure with a controlled venting system.
117. For sustained supersonic flight, some measure of tank insulation is necessary to reduce kinetic heating effects, even when lower volatility fuels are used.
Fuel contamination control
118. Fuel can be maintained in good condition by well planned storage and by making routine aircraft tank drain checks. The use of suitable filters, fuel/water separators and selected additives will restrict the contamination level, e.g. free water and solid matter, to a practical minimum. Keeping the fuel free of undissolved water will prevent serious icing problems, reduce the microbiological growth and minimize corrosion. Reducing the solid matter will prevent undue wear in the fuel pumps, reduce corrosion and lessen the possibility of blockage occurring within the fuel system. | aerospace |
