Monday, December 12th, 2011
As each year since 1958, the North American Aerospace Defense Command has the most difficult task of tracking Santa.

The Rafale has lost again

Monday, December 5th, 2011
The Swiss army, who had a bit of spare cash to buy some brand new jet fighters, decided it would go with Saab’s Gripen. This jet fighter has proved to be one of the best exports of Sweden’s military industry. Sweden has many of them, but also do the UK, the Czech Republic, Thailand, South Africa, and now Switzerland.

But The Jetman always had the dream of flying the more naRead More....

Fly a jet fighter in winter

Tuesday, November 15th, 2011
Winter is coming and we can feel the cold slowly but surely getting there. Fall is not the best month to fly a jet fighter because the weather is changing rapidly, the ceiling is very low, and it rains many days of the month. Winter on the contrary can offer some exquisite flying days. Ok the sun is not always there, and it may snow, but when the sun comes out and clears the sky, you get a pilot’s dream sky with a very pale blue sky, beautiful snowy scenery, a comfortable temperature in the coRead More....
