Talking point: Red Arrows: Time to go? from www.key.aero
Every so often the popular press in the UK will run stories suggesting that the Royal Air Force's aerobatic display team, the Red Arrows is about to be disbanded to save money… and time after time the idea is rebuffed by the Ministry of Defence.
But, given the dire state of the UK's finances, and recent press speculation that even the Royal Air Force itself may not survive the Strategic Defence Review after the General Election later this year, perhaps doing away with a national institution such as the Red Arrows would highlight the difficult decisions facing the armed forces.
Don't misunderstand us – we're big fans of the Red Arrows – the team has ably demonstrated the professionalism of the Royal Air Force around the world since its inception in 1965 – after all, it...

My Summer of Love: The Assignment of aLifetime is One I Will Never Forget from Av8rdan's World of Flying
For those who follow my writing here, you know my admiration for the DC-3/C-47 has never been higher. Those who join me in loving these great old warhorses and passenger liners know there is something about this make/model of aircraft that elevates them beyond simply vintage status.
When I heard that the crew at thelasttime.org was organizing a massive formation flight of DC-3s and C-47s into Oshkosh for opening day of the 2010 Airventure Airplane Bazaar, Camp Out and Brat Festival, I instantly knew I had to be a part of this adventure. But how? ...

DARPA calls for an unmanned A-10 -- literally, perhaps from The DEW Line
Since the moment on November 4, 2002, when a Hellfire-armed MQ-1 Predator whacked a car full of terrorists in Yemen, the idea was planted. It wouldn't be long before armed, remotely piloted aircraft would be doing more than striking high value targets. They would be hovering somewhere over a gunfight, backing up the good guys with a laser-guided missile -- in lieu of the A-10's 30mm cannon. It's actually already happening today, with the handful of MQ-9 Reapers sometimes being in the right place at the right time.
But the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is now ...
