The Netherlands announced that it will allow the Ukrainian Air Force to use the 24 F-16 fighters it will receive by donation to be used in attacks against targets within Russian territory.

The Dutch Minister of Defense, Kajsa Ollongren, confirmed that the Netherlands will not impose limitations on the use of F-16 jets. This decision marks a divergence from Belgium's policy, which limits the use of its donated F-16s.

In an interview with the newspaper Politico at the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore, Ollongren said: "There is no [a restriction to the Belgian style]. We are putting into practice the same principle that we apply to all other supplies of capacity, that is, once it is delivered to Ukraine, it is theirs to use." She added that the Netherlands only asks Ukraine to comply with international law and the right to self-defense, as established in the United Nations Charter, ensuring that the jets are used to achieve Ukraine's military objectives in self-defense.

Ollongren and U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin were among the senior officials who met with the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, at the Singapore conference. Denmark also approved Ukraine's use of F-16s provided by Denmark against military targets on Russian soil. Germany has also indicated that Ukraine can use weapons provided by the West for its defense.

Recently, the U.S. authorized Ukraine to attack Russian territory near Kharkiv using U.S.-suplied weapons, confirmed by President Zelensky's spokesman, Serhii Nykyforov, on May 31. However, Washington continues to restrict the use of long-range weapons for deeper attacks within Russia. President Zelensky has expressed interest in using long-range weapons, such as British-made Storm Shadow missiles, but the United Kingdom has not yet fully authorized their use, possibly awaiting a clear position from the White House. The issue has been discussed twice with UK authorities, but remains dependent on a broader international consensus, particularly the US position.

Cazas F-16 de la Fuerza Aérea de Rumania en acción por primera vez en los cielos de España

Aviones de combate F-16 están operando estas semanas sobre los cielos de España, varios de la Fuerza Aérea de Turquía y, por primera vez, de la de Rumania están participando en el curso de élite de la OTAN TLP, que tiene sede en la base aérea del Ejército del Aire y del Espacio de Albacete. Tras el verano ha comenzado una nueva edición del curso de vuelo del programa de liderazgo táctico TLP (Tactical Leadership Program), el denominado FC (Flight Course) 2024-3 comenzaba el 16 de septiembre, y concluirá el viernes 4 de octubre, con una duración de 3 semanas. El TLP recibirá unas 650 personas, 34 de ellos se graduarán en este curso, todo un referente en el ámbito de la OTAN, serán 22 pilotos, 6 oficiales de inteligencia y 6 controladores aéreos. Los vuelos, que se realizan de lunes a viernes en periodo de tarde, dieron comienzo el 23 de septiembre, ya que la primera semana se dedica a la actividad académica y a vuelos en simulador. Las naciones participantes en el bando Blue aportarán 18 plataformas, serán España con aviones Eurofighter, Francia con sus aviones de combate Dassault Aviation Mirage 2000D y Mirage 2000-5, Estados Unidos con los espectaculares biplazas F-15E Strike Eagle, y Rumanía y Turquía con F-16. Destaca la presencia por primera vez en España de aviones de combate de la Fuerza Aérea de Rumania, que trasladó a Albacete tres de sus F-16AM MLU (Mid Life Update o Actualización de Media Vida). Esta fuerza aérea de la OTAN adquirió una docena de estos cazas a Portugal de segunda mano en la pasada década, a los que luego sumó otros 5 de la misma procedencia, estando ahora en proceso de recibir otros 32, tras darlos de baja la Real Fuerza Aérea de Noruega. En cuanto a la participación del bando oponente (Red Air), cuentan con un total de 6 aeronaves, siendo las naciones participantes: España con Eurofigher, F-18A y F-18M de sus Alas 11, 46 y 12 respectivamente; y Estados Unidos con los referidos F-15E, de los que en total han llegado a Albacete una docena desde su base de RAF (Royal Air Force)-Lakenheath (centro de Inglaterra), que forma parte de la Fuerza Aérea de los Estados Unidos en Europa o United States Air Force Europe (USAFE). Como apoyo a la realización del curso de vuelo se cuenta, como es ya habitual desde la implantación del TLP en España en 2008, con el concurso de medios de Mando y Control del Ejército del Aire y del Espacio español (EA) durante la ejecución de las misiones. Es de destacar también la participación del avión remotamente tripulado o RPAS (Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems) MQ-9 Predator B (NR-05) del Ala 23, así como de dos instructores belgas especialistas en misiones de rescate de personal y equipos adicionales de control aéreo táctico americanos y españoles. Como amenaza antiaérea está prevista la participación de sistemas reales de defensa aérea del Ejército del Aire y del Espacio, misiles antiaéreos MBDA Mistral y el de simulación, que realiza la iluminación a las aeronaves con láser o radar Textron Mallina, del que ya hablamos en defensa.com Para simular amenazas también se cuenta con varios sistemas de simulación de la empresa americana Polygon, junto con el sistema del Armée de l´Air et de l´Espace francés ARPEGE que, como los medios españoles, estarán desplegados en distintas zonas del área de operación. Respecto a la intervención de otros medios aéreos, en el ámbito de la búsqueda y rescate en combate o Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR) de las tripulaciones abatidas se espera la participación en misiones específicas de un helicóptero NH 90 del Ejército del Aire y del Espacio en el bando Blue Air, junto con sus respectivos equipos de extracción, y de dos helicópteros Sikorsky MH-60R Seahawk de la Marina de los Estados Unidos en el bando Red. También se contará con la colaboración de un avión de transporte táctico C295 del Ala 35. Finalmente, desde las instalaciones del TLP se continuará utilizando el avanzado simulador de vuelo (MACE), que permite entrenar a los pilotos no solo en el entorno virtual, también interactuar con las aeronaves en misiones reales a través de avanzados protocolos de comunicación.

I know people have been talking about the Boeing strike currently going on, but there's also ANOTHER strike for a different aviation manufacturing company going on as well! The IAM Local 774 in the Wichita, Kansas area is currently striking against Textron!

I personally have been out helping on my days off, and my brother, who is part of the union, has been going out nearly every day since it started. I was wanting to bring some more awareness of this strike to non-locals :)

Reasons To Consider a Beechcraft For Sale

The demand for private airplanes is at an all-time high. Business owners, multinational companies, well-off families, and travel groups are eager to invest in a private jet today to reduce the drudgery of air travel. The long queues at airports and the mandatory reporting time at the airport before boarding a commercial flight are a waste of time for people who need to spend each minute wisely. Sure, the initial investment may seem too expensive, but it is a cost-effective solution for those fly frequently and individuals who need to visit remote locations that do not have a commercial airport nearby. Whatever the reason, it makes sense for the prospective buyer to get in touch with an experienced aviation broker capable of dealing with the necessities to ensure owning a Beechcraft for sale. ​ A proud American feels happy supporting an American brand, highlighting the patriotism felt for the nation. Investing in a Beechcraft can be a good way of doing this, as this particular aircraft is all-American. The brand is owned by Textron Aviation, an American manufacturer, and can fulfill the objectives of a flyer hoping for quality performance and safety.

The Beechcraft also offers amazing versatility and is a good aircraft for commercial airlines, military services, private owners, and emergency response transportation. The fairly large cabin and storage area can be customized to cater to specific needs.

Another aspect that is bound to capture the attention of potential investors is the Beechcraft airplane’s avionics. The Beechcraft models include impressive avionics, easy-to-use features, and technologically enabled features. Each model is equipped with touchscreens, allowing the pilots to fly the aircraft without any problems.

True, choosing the right private aircraft is not a simple task, nor should the decision be made in a hurry. The aviation advisor can provide the right assistance after looking closely into all aspects. Purchasing a Beechcraft can be the perfect decision, as the advisor is likely to ensure meeting the requirements of their customer without exceeding the budget. It is thus a win-win for all concerned.

One of the most important aspects to consider carefully is picking the right model of Beechcraft. While investing in a pre-owned aircraft may allow the buyer to find an older one, a new acquisition may be a brand-new model equipped with modern facilities and avionics, thereby ensuring a high level of satisfaction for the new owner.

Some of the most popular models of Beechcraft that are available widely include the following: -

Beechcraft Hawker 900XP—This is a favored model by business owners and investors seeking to travel in luxury. Its impressive range and performance make it a good choice for ensuring comfort and efficiency. King Air C90—This model is reputed for its adaptability, making it the best choice for business travelers who fly long distances regularly.

One may also select a Falcon jet for sale for its excellent design, performance, and speed.

A recent procurement decision highlights the tension between practicality, politics, and performance in military aviation. The focus was on selecting a light attack aircraft for roles like counterinsurgency, surveillance, and close air support in austere environments. The contenders included a rugged, modified agricultural aircraft, the Air Tractor AT-802, and more advanced, purpose-built platforms like the Super Tucano (A-29) and Texan II.

The AT-802 was ultimately chosen, despite being less refined and specialized. Its advantages lay in its simplicity, low operational costs, and an existing civilian supply chain for parts and maintenance. These qualities made it highly practical for sustained use in remote areas, where logistical challenges are significant. Additionally, its domestic production and widespread civilian adoption played a key role in its selection, reflecting a focus on cost-efficiency and self-reliance.

However, the A-29 Super Tucano, widely regarded as a superior platform, was designed specifically for military use and had already been adopted by allied nations. It offered better combat performance, advanced avionics, and a proven track record. Its rejection raised questions about political interference, with some suggesting that lobbying efforts and congressional mandates prioritized domestic manufacturers over operational merit.

Textron, another competitor, faced criticism for mismatched design choices, such as offering a twin-engine aircraft when the requirement explicitly called for a single-engine platform. Their insistence on exclusive repair rights—contrary to the program’s goal of low-cost maintenance—further undermined their bid.

This situation reflects broader challenges in defense procurement. While the Air Tractor offers a practical, no-frills solution, its selection over more capable aircraft underscores the compromises that arise when operational needs, political interests, and economic pressures collide. It’s a pragmatic choice for the battlefield but leaves lingering questions about opportunities lost for advancing military aviation capabilities.

How the Blue Angels convinced Tom Cruise to make the movie "Top Gun"

Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 05/02/2024 - 00:03in Demonstration Squads, History, Military

It's hard to imagine a world without the Top Gun movie. Aviation lovers watch at least once a year, despite the banality of the 80s, because the flight scenes are as cool now as they were more than 30 years ago. The best talents were hired to ensure a successful production, but the star of the film needed to be convinced by the Blue Angels to finally decide to become Maverick.

In another fantastic interview with Ryan Notthaft on Blue Angel Phantoms on YouTube, the Blue Angel pilot who piloted Tom Cruise, Curt "Griz" Watson, talks about his experience.

When reading the script alone, Cruise didn't find it funny. He was a serious actor who was still standing out, and there was a lot of apprehension about how the audience would receive an aviation film. Because the truth is that no aviation movie was really a big box office success before Top Gun.

But the producers knew they had a winner. They considered Top Gun as "Star Wars on Earth", inspired by a story years earlier in California Magazine. But Cruise initially did not share his vision, nor did many producers before Paramount. They had no real characters or stories, just cool jets.

"When I first read it, I thought they had a very limited story and script," Cruise recalled in an old behind-the-scenes article about the production of the film, which you can watch at this link. "I thought so, I don't know about it."

In a final desperate attempt to convince Cruise to join, producer Jerry Bruckheimer called Navy Admiral Peter Garrow, asking Cruise of the Navy to convince him to make the film. Garrow, of course, called the Blues Angels with the orders.

Grizz exceeded Cruise's expectations very well on the team's No. 7 jet, an A-4 Skyhawk. With a bag full of vomit, Cruise was hooked and his love affair with aviation began. When he landed he walked to the nearest public phone, called Bruckheimer and said "I do this".

But he was not satisfied only with the flight on the A-4 of the Blue Angels. After all, Mav is an F-14 Tomcat pilot. So Cruise requested flight time on the F-14 as part of his character's development. What made perfect sense. Cruise even put this in his contract. The producers and the Navy happily accommodated him.

His first F-14 flight also hit him in the head. Your pilot, indicative of call Bozo, put him in a difficult situation. You can watch the interview above about some of these flights, or better yet, watch the video here where Cruise and Bozo talk about it.

He loved piloting the F-14 so much that he even told his pilots "let's film these scenes and then tear everything apart. I'll evaluate you about who is the best driver." Each pilot wanted to know how his other pilots fared and then competed to see who could kick Tom's ass harder.

Cruise has been in love with flying since then. He is now a talented pilot, certified for various types of aircraft. He also owns a World War II P-51 Mustang fighter.
