Coordinating with Bell, the Army made extensive efforts on supply chain, production and training to mitigate risks should it go into low-rate production concurrently with prototype testing. The U.S. Army shed more light on its plans to advance the induction of the first MV-75 FLRAA (Future Long-Range Assault Aircraft) beginning in 2027, and is thus exploring a production decision ahead of operational testing. Senior Army leaders took part in the ‘State of Future Vertical Lift’ hosted by Defense News on the sidelines of the AUSA (Association of the United States Army) Symposium on Oct. 13, 2025, and answered the questions…

With my mom having recently passed, I now have a bit more time for travel, and also feel like I need to get out and just enjoy the outdoors and clear my head. So along those lines, I’ve just booked a quick adventure for Ford and me to go to Iceland at the end of the month, and would like to share what I’ve booked, and also get some feedback. Why we’re traveling to Iceland (sort of) off-season Back in 2014, I visited Iceland for a few nights, traveling alone in the peak of summer. I absolutely loved it, and…

Air‑to‑air refueling is one of the least glamorous yet most decisive capabilities in modern airpower. Tanker aircraft extend the range of fighters, bombers, and transports, allowing nations to project force far beyond their borders. Without them, even the most advanced combat jets would be tethered to their home bases. In this guide, we’ll explore the world’s largest air forces ranked by the number of aerial refueling tankers they operate, and why this capability matters so much. Let’s explore which countries operate the largest tanker fleets, how new designs like the KC-390 Millennium and A330 MRTT are redefining the role, and…

Aviation officials say, however, that they hope to reach that target without forcing many troops out of the service.Maj. Gen. Clair Gill, commander of the Army Aviation Center of Excellence and Fort Rucker, Alabama, told reporters at the Association of the United States Army’s annual meeting on Wednesday that talent panels launched this month are intended to keep decision-making power with the soldiers and would not immediately lead to involuntary transfers or reductions.“We went out to the formations and asked commanders to counsel every single soldier that was in the targeted population [where] we are over strength, and talk to…

The defense secretary’s announcement that the United States would allow Qatar to build an air force facility in Idaho was “in the works for years” and mirrors accommodations made for a handful of other allies in the country, a U.S. Air Force spokesperson told Military Times on Tuesday.Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Friday during a meeting at the Pentagon with his Qatari counterpart, Saoud bin Abdulrahman al-Thani, that Mountain Home Air Force Base “will host a contingent of Qatari F-15s and pilots to enhance our combined training [and] increase the lethality, interoperability.” After criticism from prominent figures in the GOP’s…

American Airlines was forced to ground one of its Airbus A321-200 aircraft after toxic fumes prompted a diversion to Los Angeles.

There’s a new airline startup in the United States, and it’s unlike anything we’ve seen before in the country. I actually think it’s a great concept in theory, though some of the details may need a little more ironing out. Magnifica Air, between first class and a private jetMagnifica Air is an airline startup that hopes to launch service as of the third quarter of 2027. Before I go any further, let me emphasize that this seems to be “legit” (which isn’t to say that it’ll get off the ground, but my point is to say that there are reputable…

Earlier this week, Air Serbia announced that Toronto flights will begin in 2026. They will run twice-weekly on the Airbus A330-200, which is its sole widebody equipment. In fact, this will be a resumption: its predecessor, JAT Yugoslav Airlines, flew to Toronto (and Montreal) until the early 1990s. After an absence of 11 years, Finnair will also return to Canada’s most populous city and busiest airport next year. However, Neos has pulled out; its primary role was connecting Toronto with Amritsar via Milan Malpensa.
