Model. The Mirage 2000 C

By General 2 Mins Read

Assembly and painting! Here is a model of the famous Mirage 2000 C, designed by Kitty Hawk, which should delight fans of this iconic fighter.

Calling all collectors! The Dassault Mirage 2000 C entered into service in 1984, 315 of which were for the French Air Force (286 other aircraft were exported to India, Brazil and Greece, among others). It bears a striking resemblance to the Dassault Mirage III, in particular because of its delta wings, a feature that will not have escaped purists – just like its size. However, it was a ‘new’ aircraft in the Dassault galaxy when it entered into service, with increased wing area and fly-by-wire controls.

Film. “The Shamrock Spitfire”

By General 2 Mins Read

This film is about a little-known story on this side of the Channel, chronicling the brief, heroic existence of a young Royal Air Force pilot during World War II.

Irish fighter pilot Brendan “Paddy” Finucane is relatively unknown in France, yet in the UK he is very famous. And with good reason: he had 28 official victories to his name and was the youngest Wing Commander in the Royal Air Force in 1939-1945. “The Shamrock Spitfire” is a film about the aviator’s short yet brilliant career.

Finucane joined His Majesty’s Army in April 1938, at the age of 17. What happened next? The outbreak of the war, the defeat of the French, the encircling of the British troops at Dunkirk, the Battle of Britain, victorious duels, incorporation into the Kenley squadron, promotion to the rank of Wing Commander… From 1940 to 1942, the man forged his reputation as a leader and pilot!

By General 3 Mins Read

Comic book. “Team Rafale” – Volume 16 – “Dark Star”

By General 2 Mins Read

This sixteenth volume in the adventures of Tom Nolane will transport readers to Asia, where the disappearance of a mysterious aircraft is intertwined with issues of the utmost importance.

For this latest adventure of the fighter pilot and test pilot (on board the Rafale, of course!), the protagonists Tom Nolane and his sidekicks – Tank, Dozer, etc. –, go on board the aircraft carrier “Charles-de-Gaulle” along with the rest of the carrier battle group. Straddling the territorial waters of India and Bangladesh, the aircraft carrier sails through the Bay of Bengal.

Soon, a Search And Rescue (SAR) alert is launched: it was triggered to locate the pilot of an American reconnaissance aircraft, the “Dark Star”, still in the prototyping phase, which disappeared from the radar without emitting a distress signal. To make matters worse, the case promises to be a sensitive one, since the plane is classified as top secret…

Assad’s possible paths to Moscow

By General 3 Mins Read

Over 7-8 December, much of Flightradar24’s most tracked flights list was occupied by flights to, from, or near Syria as rebels entered Damascus and news spread that Syria’s Bashar al-Assad had been deposed. With the Russian government announcing it had granted Assad and his family asylum and they were in Moscow, we began to ponder Assad’s possible paths to Russia. 

The following options present to us the most likely scenarios, though there are certainly multiple variables that leave open the possibility of additional options.  

Option A — IL-76 from Latakia

The 10 best airport shuttle and transit systems

By General 5 Mins Read

Your journey through an airport is just as important as your journey through the air. Navigating large airports can be a daunting part of travel, especially in global hubs that handle millions of passengers each year. To streamline movement between terminals and connect travelers to mainline transport options, many airports have invested in efficient transit systems—from sleek monorails and light rails to innovative automated people movers and eco-friendly pod systems.

Here’s our global countdown of the most effective (and most interesting) airport shuttle and transit systems by passenger numbers.

Comic book. “Buck Danny Origines” – Volume 3 – “Sonny Tuckson, Air Race Pilot 1/2”

By General 2 Mins Read

The next volume in the “Origines” series, which retraces the early days of the characters that helped make “Buck Danny” a must-read in aviation comics. Now it’s Sonny Tuckson’s turn.

For this third volume in the “Origines” series, the authors are delving into Sonny Tuckson’s past, after devoting the first two volumes to young Buck Danny. This is how we discover Tuckson’s childhood, in the 1930s, smack-dab in the middle of Texas. The town where he lives—and where he’s clearly bored to tears—is called Crockett, and it’s much like any other town in this part of the American South.

It was here that his uncle, a modest landowner, took him in, despite the lukewarm relations between them. His only friend is Jo. They enjoy racing cars together, trying to outrun the son of a very important local landowner, Peter Tannen.
