I received this from a #veteran friend when I asked about what it is like to be a F-15 driver. Did he get it right? Being an F-15 pilot is akin to living out the ultimate action-hero dream every single day; it's a job that combines the adrenaline rush of flying one of the world's most powerful jets with the unmatched cool factor of being at the forefront of modern aerial warfare. Imagine strapping into a more advanced cockpit than the most cutting-edge gaming setup, taking control of a machine that can soar at supersonic speeds and defy the laws of gravity with the grace of a dancer and the power of a heavyweight boxer. It’s not just about the thrill of the flight or the pride in mastering complex technology; it’s the camaraderie found in an elite group of aviators, the honor of serving your country at 40,000 feet, and the sheer joy of pushing the limits of what's possible in the air. Every takeoff is a rush, every mission a challenge, and every landing a moment of triumph, making being an F-15 pilot an unparalleled adventure. Love it!

On World Pilot's Day, read this great article from East Anglian Air Ambulance with our pilot, Captain Steve.
'I would love to land a helicopter on Ed Sheeran’s land - just because he’s a local celebrity.'- Captain Steve To mark International Pilots Day, and to acknowledge all of the brilliant pilots, aviators and engineers who we are proud to work alongside each day, we caught up with Captain Steve Norris, the longest-serving EAAA pilot, who flies Anglia One (Norwich) missions out of Helimed House.

Today is National Checklist Day. The origins of 'check lists' date back to WWII where 'checklists' were used to help keep pilots safe when aircraft were prepared for take off very quickly. Today we can create a number of lists to help us with our busy lives #CheckListDay

Pushing Boundaries: The Legacy of Chuck Yeager in Aviation In the vast expanse of the sky, there are few figures who have left an indelible mark quite like Chuck Yeager. His name is synonymous with breaking barriers, pushing the limits of human capability, and paving the way for generations of aviators to come.

Lockheed Martin F-35B Trials Expand Operational Limits on UK Royal Navy Carrier Test pilots have embarked on a series of trials pushing the operational boundaries of Lockheed Martin F-35B fighter jets aboard the UK Royal Navy's HMS Prince of Wales. The exercises included pioneering landing techniques and operating with heavy payloads, demonstrating the aircraft's adaptability in demanding scenarios. US Marine Corps aviators flew the short take-off and vertical landing variant of the F-35 from HMS Prince of Wales. Notable accomplishments during the trials include a "rolling vertical landing," marking the first time such a maneuver was executed on the ship, and a ski-jump-assisted launch with an F-35B carrying an ultra-heavy payload. The rolling vertical landing, conducted on October 19 during naval exercises off the US eastern seaboard, showcased the F-35B's ability to recover with heavier loads, turn around more quickly, and launch with a greater weapons load. Separately, the trials demonstrated the F-35B's capacity to launch from the carrier with an ultra-heavy weapons payload. Under a configuration known as "beast mode," these F-35Bs can carry up to 9,980 kilograms of payload, significantly exceeding the capacity of previous-generation Harrier aircraft. These trials highlight the remarkable adaptability and performance capabilities of the F-35B, enhancing its role as a versatile and technologically advanced fifth-generation fighter jet. As the Royal Navy continues to explore the aircraft's potential, it positions the F-35B as a key asset in the evolving landscape of naval aviation. SOURCE Kyra Helwick https://lnkd.in/d-HYx3MJ

The new USAF advanched trainer, the Boeing-Saab T-7 Red Hawk, took off for the first time with the United States Air Force on 28 June 2023. The Boeing-Saab T-7 Red Hawk is an advanced supersonic jet trainer produced by Boeing and Saab. Boeing partnered with the Swedish aerospace company, Saab, to develop a single-engine advanced jet trainer before competing for the T-7 program for the United States Air Force (USAF). The T-7A Red Hawk is an all-new advanced pilot training system designed for the U.S. Air Force that will train the next generation of fighter and bomber pilots for decades to come. Designed using a digital thread, the T-7A aligns with the U.S. Air Force’s Digital Century Series strategy by enabling the integration of new concepts and capabilities faster and more affordably through virtual testing. The Red Hawk builds off the legacy of the Tuskegee Airmen, paying tribute to the legends of the past and the heroes of the future. #Boeing #Saab #T7 #RedHawk #trend #advanchedairplane #aviationindustry #aircraft #militaryaviation #news4africa

#ThisDayInHistory #PearlHarbor | What makes the Attack on Pearl Harbor stand out to me is how America got back up the day after… this video depicts that. Admiral Yamamoto said said he could only guarantee Japan six months of military success in the Pacific after the attack. Five months later, the United States did what had never been done before, launching B-25 bombers off aircraft carriers to attack Tokyo (Doolittle Raid). Six months later, the United States prevented the Imperial Japanese Navy from isolating Australia at the Battle of Coral Sea. Seven months later, the United States turned the war around at the Battle of Midway, trouncing the same Kidō Butai ("Mobile Force") that had attacked Pearl Harbor. Imperial Japan lost 4 fleet carriers, 248 aircraft, and the most experienced combat pilots in the world at the time from the battle. It never recovered, and was on the strategic defense the rest of the war. Victory at Midway was not assured. If those obsolete bombers from Midway had not kept Nagumo’s carriers in evasive maneuvers, sacrificing themselves to buy the U.S. Navy precious time, the battle could have gone very differently. The U.S. could have lost the war in the Pacific. Could we repeat that, going from disaster to victory in less than a year? That is what we should take away from today.
