The California Air National Guard’s 144th Fighter Wing has worked with the Ukrainian air force since 1993, and over that time many close friendships have formed. Armey said he has about 10 Ukrainian pilots’ numbers stored on his phone, one of whom — an Su-24 pilot — has been to Arm...
thanks to competition from robots. Autopilot features have long supported pilots in the air—in fact, pilots generally assume control of their airplanes only during takeoff and landing. Those two tasks, however, are being taught to their mechanical competitors,...
Later, when that tour was over, I sent a copy to Bud Mahurin’s Fighter Pilots Association for their magazine. A USAF public affairs officer read it and encouraged me to expand upon the theme. I did and The Air Force Magazine published it. Encouraged, I went on to write more articles ...
He saw the possibilities of ram-pressure propulsion as early as 1913, when pilots were still flying glorified wooden kites. Aware of the design's uselessness at subsonic speeds, he instead designed a ramjet-assisted flying bomb. The French military waved him off. Hungarian engineer Albert Fono...

Four of the pilots were actually students who were flying to get experience. The instructor, Taylor, for some unknown reason, had asked to be relieved of his duties before takeoff, but the request was denied. Taylor also radioed that the compasses had failed. But in reality, he likely was...
This is a very crucial feature in a fighter aircraft where real-time data is absolutely necessary for the pilots to maneuver (and attack) with the highest precision. The same goes for features when the 1553 remote terminals are used for ordinary actions like switching ON the various lights in...
Pilot instrument skills were poor, enlisted discipline was poor, and officer professionalism was in short supply. The good pilots kept to themselves because the pilots in leadership positions were usually bad pilots. The same can be said for their professionalism. Because of the weather and our ...

And glider pilots flew their missions, especially their landings, in unarmored aircraft made solely of tubing and fabric. Often, if fortunate, avoiding obstacles not mentioned, or to be aware of, or planned for in their pre-mission briefings. It was also interesting how the flight crews of ...
