Pilot Reported To The Controller That He Was Turning Due To Clouds On December 23, 2025, about 0841 Pacific standard time, a Beech K35, N9540R, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Summer Lake, Oregon.

From 2023 (YouTube Edition): Very Cool and Highly Collectable An offshoot of MotoArt, the first and only concern to handcraft one-of-a-kind articles of furniture from the salvaged structures and components of decommissioned aircraft, PlaneTags is an ever-broadening line of aviation mementos fashioned—hand-cut, stamped, shaped, and individually etched—from the skins of retired aircraft. Cognizant of the innumerable stories preserved figuratively and literally throughout the forlorn carcasses of once-proud aircraft relegated to the world’s boneyards, PlaneTags’s personnel scour the globe in perpetuity, seeking out and salvaging vintage military and commercial aircraft.

For a few years now, regulators in the United States have been proposing a common sense change that would make it easier to investigate aircraft incidents and accidents (and in turn, make flying safer). While there has been quite a bit of pushback from pilots, there’s some good news, as this change will finally be implemented. Cockpit voice recorder will start recording 12.5x longer One of the reasons that aviation is so safe is because we learn so much from every incident, to prevent something similar from happening in the future. This is largely thanks to flight data recorders (which…

To continue my Iceland to The Residence via Cambodia trip, I flew Icelandair’s Airbus A321LR Saga Class on the 2hr50min flight from Keflavik (KEF) to London (LHR). I had flown Icelandair’s Boeing 737 MAX 8 Saga Class from New York (JFK) several days before, and was excited to see how the carrier’s newest plane compared. Well, I must admit that Icelandair’s A321LR Saga Class is a pretty sweet ride, and nicer than the carrier’s 737 MAX business class. From legroom, to seat comfort, to tech, I think this is Icelandair’s best aircraft, and I’m happy to see the airline increasingly growing its Airbus…

Peru is advancing toward selecting the Lockheed Martin F-16V Block 70 Viper as its preferred next-generation fighter jet, officials and defence sources told local media, marking a significant pivot in Lima’s long-running effort to modernise the Peruvian Air Force (FAP) combat fleet. According to local outlet Expreso, the Peruvian government has decided to proceed with the purchase of up to 24 F-16 Block 70 aircraft in a package valued at approximately $7 billion, outpacing rival proposals from Saab’s JAS 39 Gripen E/F and Dassault’s Rafale F4. The final contract signature is expected in the second week of April 2026, after…

After an incredible six nights in Iceland, it was time to continue my Iceland to The Residence via Cambodia trip. This involved flying Icelandair’s Airbus A321LR Saga Class from Keflavik (KEF) to London (LHR). Prior to my flight, I had the chance to check out the Icelandair Saga Lounge, which is the carrier’s only airport lounge in the world. Ultimately Icelandair is a hybrid carrier, and its Saga Class is somewhere between business class and premium economy. So the Icelandair Saga Lounge isn’t going to rank among the world’s best business class lounges. However, it’s still a pleasant facility with all…

Britain’s last remaining military helicopter production line is again at the center of a Whitehall fight, as the UK government delays a decision on the New Medium Helicopter program, a roughly £1 billion effort to replace the Royal Air Force’s aging Puma HC2 transport helicopters.According to The Sunday Times, the contract and the future of Leonardo’s Yeovil site in southwest England have become the subject of a cabinet-level dispute, with ministers missing their own target dates for a decision and pushing the timetable into early 2026.The report said ministers missed their own internal target dates for a decision, and that further…

Air France first class (marketed as “La Premiere”) is regarded as one of the world’s best first class products. Best of all, the airline is in the process of rolling out a brand new first class suite, which takes the experience to the next level. Air France’s “old” first class product was already excellent, and you can read my full review here. Meanwhile the new first class product is even more impressive, and you can read my full review here. Air France is continuing to introduce its new first class product to more flights, and this product is now available…
