Aero Linx: WW1 Aeroplanes, Inc. WORLD WAR 1 AEROPLANES was founded by Leo Opdycke in 1961 and incorporated as a federally recognized 501 (c) (3) not-for-profit corporation in 1979, organized and operated for educational purposes relating to early aviation, from pre-World War I to 1940.

Pilot Reported That He Purchased The Airplane Earlier That Day Analysis: The pilot reported that he purchased the airplane earlier that day and completed a condition inspection that afternoon. The previous owner suggested performing a couple of touch-and-go landings and some air work in preparation for the planned flight to the airplane’s home base. The pilot stated that the takeoff, climb, crosswind, and downwind legs of the traffic pattern were normal. While on the base-to-final turn, the airplane was high, and when the pilot reduced engine power, it developed a high sink rate. He did not correct the sink rate…

Also: Abu Dhabi’s 1st Vertiport Network, Anduril-EDGE Partner, Vertical Permit/eVTOL Regs Sierra Space’s Dream Chaser spaceplane has cleared another round of pre-flight milestones at Kennedy Space Center. The company has been running the spacecraft through a long list of test campaigns ahead of its debut under NASA’s CRS-2 cargo contract. The Dream Chaser’s most recent accomplishments include electromagnetic interference and compatibility testing inside the Space Systems Processing Facility, demonstrating that its avionics and subsystems behave properly in the kinds of charged environments it will encounter from launch to landing. Joby Aviation announced the first flight of its recently developed turbine-electric,…

Honda has outlined the most complete look yet at its plans for a new electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, unveiling the program publicly at the Dubai Airshow 2025 after several years of low-visibility development work. The company displayed a cabin mockup, a one-third scale demonstrator it has been flying in California, and a model of the compact turbogenerator that will power its hybrid-electric design.  Honda told outlet ZAG Daily it plans to finish building its first full-scale prototype before the end of 2025. The aircraft is slated for a first flight in March 2026, flown remotely in the United States. Type certification is targeted for the…

America’s fleet of stealth air superiority fighters is starting to get long in the tooth. Despite remaining the unquestioned apex predator of the TACAIR (tactical aircraft) world, the Lockheed Martin (LM) F-22 Raptors of the US Air Force are aging. The USAF isn’t ready to give up on the Raptor just yet. The fifth-generation fighters are slated for an overhaul, one that may have begun already.source

Consider this scenario: an aircraft maintenance engineer sits for a mandatory safety compliance exam over Microsoft Teams. ChatGPT runs in another tab, reference materials spread across the desk, and perhaps a colleague hovers just beyond the camera’s view.  Scenarios such as the above have exposed a critical vulnerability in exams taken online. According to EASA’s 2024 Annual Safety Review, statistics from 2023-2024 show that 83% of current remote proctoring systems can be defeated using readily available technology. From a security standpoint, this makes the examinations meaningless. The aviation industry can’t afford certification shortcuts. This has taken secure digital proctoring from…

BANGKOK — The United States and the Philippines have announced the creation of a joint task force aimed at further deterring what U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth called Beijing’s “coercion” in the South China Sea.It is the first of its kind in Southeast Asia, where not only the Philippines but also Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia and Vietnam have overlapping claims with China in the sea, a major international shipping route.Analysts tell Military Times the task force could help deter Beijing’s efforts to enforce its sweeping claims to the sea by allowing U.S. and Philippine forces to react much more quickly to…

French all-business class airline La Compagnie has just launched a “Blue Friday” fare sale, which seems to be an annual promotion from the airline. While it’s not the most exciting offer ever, it has the potential to be a reasonably good deal if you don’t have access to miles, and/or don’t see saver level award availability for dates you need to travel. La Compagnie used to have a lot more fare sales in the past, but with the amount of premium demand there is across the Atlantic nowadays, plus the carrier becoming more well established, they’ve become rarer. For that…

On November 20, Air Transat added another brand-new route to Africa. In June next year, it’ll take off from Toronto to Accra. It will be the sole service between Canada and Ghana, which follows the signing of a bilateral air service agreement between the two nations in early 2025. The link was announced a day too late to feature in my article about the 13 new long-haul routes being announced in two days. The Canadian leisure carrier recently added the first-ever route from Canada to Senegal, with Montreal-Dakar service starting next year. This will mark its debut in sub-Saharan Africa.…

At the Association of Asia Pacific Airlines’ 69th Assembly of Presidents in Bangkok held November 14-16, 2025, leading aircraft manufacturers presented their forecasts for what they’re calling the industry’s biggest growth opportunity in years.Boeing, Airbus, and Embraer each laid out ambitious plans for what’s shaping up to be aviation’s most dramatic growth story over the next two decades. The numbers being discussed speak of staggering growth in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region: tens of thousands of new aircraft needed, trillions in economic value, and growth rates that dwarf every other region.However, the manufacturers presenting these rosy forecasts are the same…
