The Boeing F-47 emerged as the winner from the manned component for the United States Air Force’s Next Generation Air Dominance program (NGAD). The NGAD program also includes Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCAs), known as loyal wingman drones. After a prolonged period of uncertainty that culminated in the Air Force putting the fighter jet on hold pending the incoming Trump Administration’s decision, the Air Force is now rapidly developing the jet as quickly as possible. It should be stressed that the F-47 is an extremely secretive program, and little is known about it or its capabilities. In a rather interesting development,…

On Tuesday, November 4, the world looked on with shock as videos emerged of the fatal UPS Airlines Flight 2976, which burst into flames shortly after takeoff from Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport (SDF).

All airlines cut routes, and Avelo is no exception. You may know by now that the carrier will pull out of Hartford in January. In that month, it will also cease one international service from Raleigh/Durham. Consequently, it will end four of its six international routes across its whole network. And it will entirely stop flying to Cancun and Montego Bay. The latter’s exit was revealed before Jamaica’s devastating Hurricane Melissa. Breeze may replace Avelo on some of those links. Many examples exist of where it has done so. They include flights on various domestic routes from Burbank. However, Breeze…

Additional F-35Bs have joined the carrier as it sails through the Mediterranean on the tail end of the CSG 25 deployment, satisfying a major requirement for the declaration of full operating capability. HMS Prince of Wales is now sailing with the largest air wing hosted on a British carrier in decades, exceeding even the U.S. Marine Corps-augmented air wing that deployed on HMS Queen Elizabeth in 2021. Six F-35Bs departed RAF Marham over the last week to head south and augment the 18 jets that have been deployed on the carrier through the bulk of its deployment to the Indo-Pacific.…

A criminal case that had been held against Boeing for the fatal crashes of Lion Air Flight 610 and Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 has been dropped. Federal Judge Reed O’Connor made the move in the state of Texas, as they dismissed the case upon a request from the Department of Justice.

These incidents led to the global grounding of the MAX aircraft, with their airworthiness revoked after the…
