General Electric has defeated the Eurojet consortium in a contest to provide the engine for a new version of India's long-delayed Tejas light combat aircraft. The US manufacturer has won a deal to supply 99 F414-INS6 turbofans for the Tejas MkII, following a selection decision by India's Aeronautical Development Agency. "GE Aviation will supply the initial batch of engines and the rest will be manufactured in India under a transfer of technology arrangement," says GE India chief executive Read More....

We simply love our Fouga Magister. And we love it for the good reasons: maneuverability, speed, security and it is also beautiful to look at. The Fouga Magister is instantly recognizable by its V tail. Designed in the 1950s to assume the role of jet trainer, the Fouga Magister went far beyond. The plane has trained thousands of jet fighter pilots around the world. But the Fouga was so good and so maneuverable, at the same time so easy to fly, that it has been enrolled in many combat missions arRead More....

We had a great time on Friday 6th August as we hosted a special event for our very special guests: the Patrouille de France. The French national display team accepted our invitation and we spent a great day sharing stories, but also flying ! And it was great to regroup our L39 Albatros with the team. The Patrouille de France flies Alphajets and we have had the chance to enjoy the sight of the team training and following them. We also spent a fantastic evening in our hangar, with the team.

Flying a fighter jet is no ordinary experience. Many people have different reactions when sitting in the cockpit. Some are quietly happy, others demonstrate their nervousness by talking incessantly, others are just quiet as if taking the train to go home. But we know a jet fRead More....

Anyone flying with us – in any type of aircraft actually – will experience G force. We commonly refer to G force as “times” body weight when doing evolutions. When flying in our fighter jets, you may experience up to 7Gs. But what is G force exactly ? The gravitational force, or g-force, on something is its acceleration relative to free-fall. This acceleration experienced by an object is due to the vector sum of non-gravitational forces. Accelerations not produced by gravity are termed pRead More....

First flight for the Lockheed Martin F35C naval version of the fighter jet. OK, you cannot fly the F35 jet fighter as a paying passenger but we wanted to congrat our friend and pilot Jeff Knowles, who flew the F35C for the first time early June. The F35C is the naval variant of the F35 – also called Joint Strike Fighter in reference to the program designed to elect the next generation of fighters and striker aircrafts. Check the video of the first flight:
