Marker Beacon An electronic navigation facility transmitting a 75 MHz vertical fan or boneshaped radiation pattern.

An RAF Typhoon was pictured at BAE Systems Warton carrying two seven round LAU-131 rocket pods, which can be used to fire APKWS guided munitions against surface and, importantly, air targets.  The images, taken by Tech Digital Photography, mark the first time that we’ve seen a Typhoon outfitted with a rocket pod in the flesh. While rocket pods were integrated with many aircraft that the Typhoon has ended up replacing, until relatively recently these were largely for unguided rockets in an air to surface role and deploying such a non-precision weapon from a fast jet no longer aligned with the…

When missiles and one-way attack drones began raining down on the United Arab Emirates in the opening hours of the Iran war, panic spread quickly among executives, tourists, and expatriates in Dubai. Within hours, private aviation companies began receiving a flood of requests from people desparately trying to leave the region.    Kyle Patel, founder of global charter brokerage Bitlux, said his company alone received more than 500 evacuation requests in the first hours after hostilities began.    What followed, he said, was one of the most chaotic, and ethically troubling, charter markets he has seen in his career.    “Costs can go up…

Airlines just can’t seem to catch a break, but then again, that’s nothing new for the industry. Airlines brace for impact of more expensive jet fuelThe current conflict involving Iran obviously has major geopolitical implications. As it impacts the aviation industry, many airlines have had to adjust their networks to avoid a lot of airspace in the Middle East, which has caused chaos for airlines. For that matter, many people are pushing off their trips, given all the uncertainty. However, arguably there’s one reality that airlines are most having to come to terms with as a result of what’s happening,…

While the authenticity of the footage remains unconfirmed, the video appears to show the engagement at close range during the Mar. 2 incident. We break down how such a blue-on-blue could occur. As already reported, according to unofficial reports, a Kuwait Air Force F/A-18 Hornet was responsible for the downing of three U.S. Air Force F-15E Strike Eagle in a pretty unusual friendly fire incident on Mar. 2, 2026. Whether the Kuwaiti pilot deliberately engaged the U.S. aircraft or the incident was the result of a series of contributing factors/mistake remains unclear. However a footage circulating online seems to suggest…

Switzerland now expects to purchase 30 Lockheed Martin F-35A fighter jets, six fewer than originally planned, as rising costs force the government to scale back the order.  The revised figure provides the first clear indication of the final fleet size after Switzerland announced in December 2025 that it would reduce its planned purchase of 36 aircraft because the program was exceeding the CHF 6 billion ($6.8 billion) spending ceiling approved by voters in a 2020 referendum.  Swiss Defense Minister Martin Pfister said on March 6, 2026, that the government was requesting an additional credit worth 394 million Swiss francs ($505 million) from parliament. With that funding, Switzerland now expects to…

It’s an interesting time for aviation in South America, on a variety of levels. Here’s the latest example of that, as Brazilian carrier GOL Linhas Aéreas Inteligentes intends to start flying wide body planes. While plans for this were first announced in October 2025, some more details have just been made available, which give us context for what we can expect. GOL will fly at least five Airbus A330-900neos GOL plans to lease at least five Airbus A330-900neos from aircraft leasing company Avolon, marking a major step in the the carrier’s long haul expansion strategy. The planes are all expected…

Wizz Air has been given the go-ahead to launch transatlantic flights between the United Kingdom (UK) and the United States (US) as part of its plans to fly fans and European teams to the FIFA World Cup this summer. On March 6, 2026, Wizz Air announced that the necessary permits to operate flights had been received after filing an application on January 23, 2026. Wizz Air described the milestone as a “major expansion in the airline’s international operations,” but has previously stated clearly that the operation will not be permanent. The low-cost carrier aims to provide tailored charter flights for…
