Designed for fleet air defense, the F-14 was armed with a potent long-range missile and, with a powerful new radar, could engage multiple airborne targets at once. The United States Navy’s F-14 Tomcat was the most potent fleet defense aircraft of its time. Its AIM-54 Phoenix missile had a long range, the new AWG-9 radar and fire control system was very powerful, the combination could track and engage multiple targets effectively at the same time, at least on paper. But would it perform in the real world? Previous Testing In late April 1972, two pre-production Grumman F-14 Tomcat aircraft assigned…

I suspect that most people might not share my excitement, but this might be the most intriguing new long haul service we’ve seen to the United States in a long time, purely in terms of how unknown the airline is to many people. And there’s little I love more than boarding a flight where I don’t know what to expect. Qanot Sharq will start flying to the United StatesQanot Sharq has announced that it plans to launch flights between Tashkent and New York. The flight is expected to commence as of May 3, 2026, with flights operating twice per week,…

We just flew Air France business class from Miami (MIA) to Paris (CDG) to Geneva (GVA). While the most exciting thing about the experience was how well behaved our son was, there was another noteworthy aspect to the journey, which was a first-time experience for me. I finally experienced Starlink Wi-Fi onboard a flight!In recent times, we’ve seen an increasing number of airlines announce plans to introduce Starlink Wi-Fi. As you’d expect, the catch is that the rollout takes some time. Admittedly a good number of airlines do now have Starlink Wi-Fi on a widespread basis, though oddly, I hadn’t…

Given the millions of people who travel by air every day, deaths do happen onboard flights with some frequency. However, British Airways’ handling of a recent incident is leaving many scratching their heads. I’m not sure what exactly to make of this… British Airways crew handles onboard death in unusual way The Sun reports on an incident that happened on a recent British Airways flight from Hong Kong (HKG) to London (LHR). Flight BA32 was operated by an Airbus A350-1000, and the 5,994-mile journey ordinarily takes around 14 hours. Around an hour after takeoff, a woman in her 60s reportedly…

PS (which was initially founded in 2017 as The Private Suite) is a company that operates exclusive airport facilities, intended to allow people to bypass the typical airport experience, when flying commercially. The first location opened in 2017 in Los Angeles (LAX), the second location opened in 2023 in Atlanta (ATL), and there are two more locations expected to open soon, in Miami (MIA) and Dallas (DFW). In this post, I want to go over everything we know about the Dallas location, as it has just started accepting reservations, meaning we have an official opening date. PS facility opening at…

In a message to staff published on the United Airlines website, Kirby said the airline will “remain focused on the long term” and “stay ahead of the curve”. “Many of you will remember in United’s past that storm clouds like this caused United to furlough employees, defer aircraft orders, downgrade to regional jets, go through cost cutting exercises, delay investments in the future, etc. We…

Pardon my excitement, but I just had a flight that made me happier than any other possible flight experience, even Etihad’s A380 The Residence or Air France’s 777 La Premiere. Traveling with little kids can be really complicated Having kids is a joy, but it can (obviously) also be challenging, especially when it comes to travel (well, among many other things). I can tell you that as someone who has flown millions and millions of miles, traveling with little kids is like learning to fly all over again. Forget the concept of traveling with only carry-ons, or of having a…

With the current partial government shutdown, many federal workers aren’t receiving paychecks. This includes TSA officers, and that’s leading to an increasing number of sick calls, which has meant longer lines at security. Some airports have even seen over 50% of TSA agents call in sick on some days. Past government shutdowns have sometimes ultimately ended because of the impacts on our aviation ecosystem. Along those lines, President Trump is suggesting he’s going to do something that’s just… oy. Trump says he’ll send ICE agents to airports Trump has just taken to social media to write the following: The Radical…
