Have you ever wondered why so many Curtiss P40s had those big teeth on the nose? Apparently the idea came from the RAF who copied it from German Bf 110s and the US crews kept it because it made the fighter look fierce.

Beechcraft announced they’re no longer producing the iconic Bonanza, so I thought it was a good moment to show you this one. It’s the military variant that flew in Vietnam.

Watching these American aircraft tear across the sky in a nighttime display was unreal. The sound alone shook the whole field and it makes you wonder just how loud Pearl Harbour must have been.

A turbine helicopter in the ultralight category is pretty wild and the FR200 proves it with a 310 kg empty weight and big performance in a tiny frame.

We attended our first European Rotors in Cologne and it was great. The show was much bigger than we expected with operators, engineers, manufacturers and training teams packed into every corner. We had some great conversations with industry colleagues and left with plenty of new ideas. #helicopter

The Airbus A380 is a giant in every sense. At maximum takeoff weight it tips the scales at about 575 tonnes which is roughly 1.27 million pounds. That is heavier than 100 fully grown elephants yet this machine still lifts off with ease as four massive engines push a flying building into the sky.

Well, landing at Toronto Airport was pretty interesting. Niagara Falls is just across this lake and I was hoping to catch a glimpse but we didn’t fly far enough out to see it.

You do not get many chances to see a Messerschmitt Me 262 fly, so catching one lifting off in the USA always feels surreal. The Me 262 was the world’s first operational jet fighter and only a handful are airworthy today.

When you look at how fast aviation progressed in the 1940s, it makes you wonder. Are we still innovating at the same pace or have we slowed down?

Walking around the Falcon 50EX at NBAA. A proper tri-jet with range, short-field capability and that classic Dassault wing design. One of the most interesting business jets ever built.

The U-2 flies high enough to see the curve of the Earth. Built in the 1950s, still flying today.
Gary Powers being shot down made it a Cold War icon. Yet even with satellites in orbit the U-2 remains.
So why do we still need it?
