Exploring Venus: Why is it important?
Venus, often referred to as Earth’s sister planet, has long captivated the curiosity of scientists and space enthusiasts alike. Despite its close proximity to our planet, Venus remains shrouded in mystery, with many unanswered questions about its atmosphere, surface, and potential habitability. Exploring Venus is crucial for gaining insights into the formation and evolution of terrestrial planets, as well as understanding the conditions necessary for life to thrive.
Venus’ extreme greenhouse effect, with temperatures soaring to a scorching 900 degrees Fahrenheit, has made it a challenging target for exploration. The thick atmosphere, consisting mostly of carbon dioxide, creates a runaway greenhouse effect that traps heat and leads to a hostile environment. By studying Venus, scientists hope to gain a better understanding of the factors that contribute to the stability of Earth’s climate and the potential impacts of climate change.
Moreover, Venus shares similar characteristics with Earth, such as a similar size, mass, and composition. Unraveling the mysteries of Venus could provide valuable insights into the processes that shaped our own planet and shed light on the possibilities of habitability beyond Earth. Therefore, the exploration of Venus holds immense scientific significance and promises to expand our knowledge of the universe.
Challenges of exploring Venus
Exploring Venus presents a unique set of challenges that make it a formidable task for space agencies around the world. The extreme temperatures and pressures on Venus’ surface pose a significant obstacle for any lander or rover. The harsh conditions have led to previous missions, such as the Soviet Union’s Venera program, being short-lived, with only a few hours of operation before succumbing to the intense heat and pressure.
Another challenge lies in Venus’ thick atmosphere, which is composed mainly of carbon dioxide and exhibits a dense cloud cover. These clouds, made up of sulfuric acid, obscure the planet’s surface and make it difficult to obtain clear images or gather data. Furthermore, the corrosive nature of the atmosphere adds an additional layer of complexity to the design and durability of spacecraft and instruments.
Additionally, the proximity of Venus to the Sun and its lack of a protective magnetosphere make it susceptible to intense solar radiation and the solar wind. Understanding the interaction between Venus’ atmosphere and the solar wind is crucial for comprehending the planet’s evolution and its magnetic field dynamics.

Vaping co-pilot causes plane to plunge 20,000 feet
NEW YORK POST:
A clumsy co-pilot caused an Air China plane to plunge nearly 20,000 feet midair when he pulled the wrong switch while trying to shut off an air recycling system — so he could vape in the cockpit.
The airhead aviator was soaring from Hong Kong to the northeastern Chinese city of Dalian in a Boeing 737 jet Tuesday when he tried to stop vapor from his e-cigarette from wafting into the passenger cabin, according to CNN.
Instead, the wingman accidentally triggered a drop in oxygen levels, prompting an altitude warning that caused the nearly fatal plunge — from 32,800 to 13,100 feet in less than nine minutes, Civil Aviation Administration of China officials told the station.

January 22nd, 2024. Richmond, CA.
At the recent AFWERX EXPEDIENT BASING CHALLENGE, sponsored by the U.S. Department of Defense and showcased in Las Vegas, Traverse Aero was awarded a coveted CSO (Commercial Solutions Opening), which authorizes any DoD agency to allocate funds to Traverse Aero for the development and purchase of its Orca cargo drones. Out of the hundreds of submissions, Traverse Aero’s Orca was the only cargo drone solution to be selected.
“Orca clearly meets a large number of the DoD’s requirements for a multi-use cargo drone operating in contested logistics environments,” says Traverse Aero founder and CEO Scott Parker. “We are honored to be evaluated and vetted by the U.S. Air Force. This critical seal-of-approval means that any DoD agency can now cut through the usual red tape and start accelerating their adoption of Traverse Aero’s Orca”.
The showcase event in Las Vegas on Jan 16th revealed lots of excitement around the Orca solution, where form clearly follows function. Discussion highlights included its seamless integration with existing logistic frameworks, its multi-mission capabilities, and its hybrid powertrain that can power electronic payloads for extended periods, expanding its role beyond autonomous cargo logistics. Force sustainment in contested areas was another hot topic and clearly it makes a lot more sense to send an Orca rather than putting airmen at risk for these types of missions.
The Orca’s proprietary AI co-pilot was also of great interest as it creates a valuable force multiplier. The co-pilot’s advanced autonomy and AI stack will allow a single remote operator to control up to 50 Orcas, even in GPS-denied and communication-denied environments. Orcas will fuse data from an array of onboard sensors for fully autonomous navigation, performing equally well in both day and night conditions.
Traverse Aero is building the Orca from technology that is proven and available today. Importantly, the performance of the aircraft is not reliant on any “breakthrough” technology that is yet to be realized. This strategy means the company can compress the typical development timeline and rapidly field the Orca in commercial and military environments.
About Traverse Aero
Traverse Aero is developing Orca, the world’s first cargo drone designed specifically for standard shipping pallets – far and away the most ubiquitous load units for the transport of commercial and military freight. It is estimated that there are more than five billion pallets in use worldwide.

In a quiet neighborhood of Quail Creek, Mel Pate and a neighbor spotted smoke rising. Unable to physically investigate, Pate employed his DJI Mini drone, flying it over three-quarters of a mile to confirm the source—a house engulfed in flames. Beyond recreational use, drones have become versatile tools, aiding diverse professions, including first responders, photographers, realtors, journalists, and construction workers.
Drones: Beyond Recreation
Pate, a 64-year-old drone enthusiast with over a decade of experience, initially turned to drones after unsuccessful attempts at flying remote control airplanes post-retirement. He recognized drones’ stability—hovering when controls are released—as an appealing feature, prompting his entry into the world of aerial photography. Investing $1,100 in his first drone, he later acquired a more portable model, the Mini, for $850.
While predominantly used for capturing vacation memories—Australia, Germany, the Pacific Islands—Pate also leverages drones for hunting, camping, and scouting terrains. However, recognizing the responsibility that accompanies drone usage, Pate educated himself on drone regulations, particularly acknowledging the potential safety hazards drones pose near airports and sensitive structures.
Navigating Legalities and Ethics
Arizona law prohibits drone interference with police or fire operations and restricts photography of designated critical structures. Sahuarita imposes specific drone launch and landing sites, with stringent guidelines for flight. Despite evolving laws, many remain uninformed or harbor negative perceptions regarding drones, often citing privacy concerns.
Navigating privacy concerns, Sahuarita Police Lt. Juan Zamora emphasizes the legality of drone operations within airspace boundaries. Ethical behavior remains a core tenet for operators, respecting individuals’ privacy while adhering to airspace regulations. Instances of misuse contribute to drones’ negative reputation, exemplified by a neighbor shooting down a drone in an unprovoked incident.
Youthful Engagement and Ethical Training
Cutter Papritz, a 17-year-old drone operator, commenced his drone journey at 11, evolving from toy drones to collaborating with his father, Carew Papritz, a figure known for innovative book promotions. Cutter, aspiring to be an anesthesiologist, intends to retain drone operation as a hobby and potential freelance endeavor. Ethical discussions with his father emphasize respecting privacy and property boundaries during drone operations.
Understanding the potential intrusion caused by drone noise, Cutter remains mindful of avoiding crowded spaces, aligning with federal regulations prohibiting drone usage in national parks to prevent wildlife disturbance.
Government Regulations and Institutional Use
FAA regulations necessitate operator licensing for commercial drone use but only require registration for recreational flying. However, the future could witness stricter tracking and regulations concerning drone ownership. Law enforcement agencies like Sahuarita Police and Pima County Sheriff’s Department utilize drones for various purposes, from search operations to crime scene analysis, adhering to specific altitude limits and ethical guidelines.
The Future of Drones
As technology advances and costs decrease, drones are becoming increasingly accessible. Law enforcement foresees expanded usage, anticipating a surge in diverse drone applications, driven by affordable models entering the market. This proliferation calls for heightened responsibility among operators to ensure safe, ethical, and respectful drone utilization.
Drones, once purely recreational, have evolved into multifunctional tools across various sectors. Their integration demands a delicate balance between technological advancement, legal compliance, ethical conduct, and public acceptance. As they continue to evolve, their positive impact remains contingent on responsible and ethical operation.

Map shows 28 military shipments through Hungary headed to Rzeszów airport
Since January, at least 28 military transport planes have passed through Hungarian airspace on their way to Rzeszów, the logistical hub of arms transport in Ukraine. US and Canadian planes from Budapest and the Pápa airbase of the Hungarian Armed Forces have also carried supplies the Polish town. On 9 May, Ukrainian helicopters once again stopped at the Győr airport, this time trying to be more covert.
As Atlatszo reported at the end of April, there are several indications that the Hungarian government is sending false signals about arms shipments to Ukraine. Recently released footage and flight logs suggest that allied states regularly use Hungarian airspace, as well as roads and airports to transport arms to Ukraine.
In February, a public web camera captured H125M light military helicopters flying from Győr-Pér airport, painted with the insignia of the Ukrainian State Border Guard Service. The helicopters turned out to have been the ones offered by France to Ukraine. From Győr, they flew to Rzeszów, Poland.
The small Polish town became the main hub of arms shipments to Ukraine, most of the weapons deliveries since last year passed through there. Western planes do not enter Ukrainian airspace directly due to security risks, instead they fly to Rzeszów, from where arms shipments are transported on land.
French military helicopters were delivered to the Ukrainian border police via Győr-Pér airport in Western Hungary. This was revealed a few days after the ministry of defense categorically denied that they let Ukraine-bound military shipments through the Hungarian airspace.
The Hungarian government, claiming to be “supporting peace” repeatedly stated that they do not allow the transit of weapons through Hungary by land or air. However, footage from May shows that a military convoy of armoured vehicles offered by Slovenia to Kiev appears to have been transported via the M7 motorway.
Flight tracker archives and photos also show that military transport planes have been regularly passing through Hungarian airspace since January (and before that) to land in Rzeszów, which indicates that weapons shipments regularly pass through the country.
Based on the archive of Radarbox, we have identified 28 such aircraft since January 2023.
As the map shows, military aircraft departing from Italy, the Western Balkans and Bulgaria were the most common guests in Hungarian airspace. From Italy, they were mainly transport planes of the Italian Air Force. From other airports, American and Canadian Boeing C-17s and Lockheed C-130s carried cargo. From Bulgaria came aircraft from a Ukrainian Motor Sich airine. Although the company is registered as a civilian company, it is an open secret that Ukrainian civilian carriers are also entrusted with military deliveries. One such plane crashed in Greece last year.
There were also instances of planes carrying cargo directly from Hungary to Rzeszów: on 18 April, a Canadian Air Force plane flew from Budapest to Rzeszów. Earlier, on 7 February, a Hungarian-registered C-17 took off from the Hungarian Defence Forces airbase in Pápa and arrived in Rzeszów.
The latter aircraft belonged to NATO’s Strategic Airlift Capability (SAC) unit, a group of Hungarian-registered aircraft operated by American pilots, based at the Pápa airbase. The SAC aircraft have been involved in arms deliveries to Ukraine before, and last year the German Ministry of Defence published photos of a Hungarian-registered C-17 with a consignment of anti-tank and anti-aircraft missiles destined for Ukraine.
In addition to the planes in the public Radarbox database, there may have been other consignments that secretly passed through Hungary. Online airspace surveillance applications record the paths of planes passing with their transponders (radar transponders) switched on. It is common, however, for military aircraft to have their transponders switched off for national security reasons, so that their routes cannot be tracked.
Secretly, Ukrainian helicopters landed again in Győr
After Átlátszó reported on the Ukraine-bound helicopters resting in Győr, two more Ukrainian H125Ms appeared again at Győr airport on 9 May. This time however, those responsible for the transportation tried to be more covert, perhaps because of the press coverage of the previous incident. The aircraft turned off their transponders and stopped on a runway that is not visible on the webcam. However, the helicopters could still briefly be spotted at the same Időkép web camera – they are visible for a few second on this recording around 16:28.
Considering that the helicopters passed through Hungary clandestinely, without transponders, it cannot be excluded that other military transports, in addition to those marked on the map, were also passing through Hungary clandestinely.

The 88,000-square-foot pavement portion of the Joint Use Maintenance and Paint Hangar 1006 required loading capacity for aircraft as large as a Boeing 747-400 and Boeing 777-300ER. The project was originally specified with two layers of #4 rebar at 18″ o.c. in a 12″ thick concrete slab.
Concrete contractor TWC Concrete Services, LLC replaced the steel with FORTA-FERRO synthetic macro-fiber at a dosage rate of 5 lbs/yd3, with joint spacing at 15 feet. More than 20,000 pounds of FORTA-FERRO was utilized to increase the fatigue resistance and flexural strength of the slab under the heavy point loads of the large aircraft.

I watched Curiosity’s landing from a large auditorium, filled with a few hundred people very excited and anxious about the coming hours. Gathering a few hours before the landing, all of us were watching lectures by scientists who detailed some of Curiosity’s specialities. The ChemCam, the rover’s very capable robotic arm, and the CheMin were all certainly very impressive instruments. But everyone was also slightly scared about the landing. None of those instruments would matter if the landing did not succeed.
We switched to a live broadcast from the mission control as the time approached closer to the landing. In the past few months, the entire descent and landing sequence had seemed like something out of a movie as I was learning about it1. Now it was about to unfold before our eyes.
As news about the successful completion of each step reached JPL, our auditorium filled with applause. Finally, as the rover’s wheels were confirmed to be on Martian soil, loud cheering filled the entire giant room as the apprehensive tension finally broke, mirroring the scene at JPL visible before us on the live broadcast.
And just a few minutes later, the first two pictures started coming in. They were nothing much, just very low resolution black and white images of Curiosity’s wheels on the Martian surface. But that’s exactly what made them so thrilling. Just a few minutes after we found out that we landed a rover on Mars, we also started getting pictures, visual proof that we had succeeded. It had been quite a bit of time after their landings when the previous rovers on Mars started sending back their first images, but now Curiosity’s nearly immediate two small pictures, in which I could even make out individual rocks sitting next to the rover, made the landing feel just that much more real and tangible in my mind. For a few minutes, the phrase “Dare Mighty Things” I had been seeing all night online made perfect sense. Curiosity was truly an achievement representing all of humanity, the triumph of a people willing to take huge risks, doing very hard work, and then ultimately achieving an equally momentous task.
At the end of the night, I wanted to grab hold of strangers off the streets2, and tell them all about the Mars landing. “We have a new, 1 ton rover on Mars, that got there by a Sky Crane, and is already sending pictures from the surface! Can you believe it?!”
Because I still couldn’t completely believe it myself.


Scheduled for release on February 16, 2024, “Land Of Bad” is an upcoming English movie directed by William Eubank. The film boasts an ensemble cast including Russell Crowe, Liam Hemsworth, Milo Ventimiglia, and Ricky Whittle in lead roles. Joining them are Luke Hemsworth, Daniel Macpherson, Lincoln Lewis, and Gunner Wright, among other popular actors.
The plot revolves around a Delta Force special ops mission gone awry, putting Air Force drone pilot Reaper in a race against time. With the mission turning into a chaotic rescue operation, Reaper must act swiftly within a tight 48-hour window. With no weapons and limited communication, save for the drone overhead, the ground team finds themselves thrust into a full-scale battle when they’re discovered by the enemy.
In the heart of hostile territory, the Delta Force team faces an unexpected ambush. Despite the odds stacked against them, a determined novice officer refuses to abandon his comrades. The fate of the team hangs precariously as they rely on the Air Force drone pilot, their only lifeline, to navigate through a grueling struggle for survival spanning two harrowing days.

City Airport (ICAO: EGCB) is a general aviation airport in the Barton-upon-Irwell area of Eccles, in the City of Salford, Greater Manchester, England. Formerly known as Barton Aerodrome and City Airport Manchester, it is known by the UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) as Manchester/Barton.
It is situated 5 nautical miles (9.3 km; 5.8 mi) west of Manchester and was the United Kingdom’s first purpose-built municipal airport. Featuring four grass runways, it is one of the busiest general aviation airports in the UK. The airfield operates seven days a week, from 9 am (8.15am winter) until 8pm or sunset (whichever earlier) for fixed-wing aircraft. Commercial, private, military, police and air ambulancehelicopters can operate during the hours of darkness by arrangement, as the airfield can be equipped with portable runway lighting.
The airport is also used as a refuelling stop for light aircraft and helicopters. However, it lies on the edge of Chat Moss and the aircraft movements area suffers from occasional periods of waterlogging, restricting fixed wing operations at those times. Recent works to improve drainage on the airfield have seen some success in reducing the number of closures.


That’s right. Do you have a million dollars to spare? A Russian company called Orbital Hotel is planning to open world’s first space hotel in 2016.
Fox News says, A Russian company has revealed plans and sketches for a space hotel — and it’ll cost you. The hotel, designed by Russian firm Orbital Technologies, will accommodate seven guests in four cabins. It will take two days on board a Soyuz rocket in order to reach it.
But experts warn that the firm faces real challenges before it will be able to launch the planned space station.
And before you get too excited, it will cost $942,000 to visit the hotel. A five-day stay is expected to be about $157,000, plus the cost of the trip there: $785,000.
For those who can afford it, this could be one unforgettable trip. The company promises amazing views of Earth and comfort not seen in most space accommodation.


The JSCARC supports an open 2 meter repeater (146.64r/.04t – no tone). The repeater is located in the rooftop penthouse (equipment room) of the 9-story JSC Project Management building, Building 1, at the Johnson Space Center.
The Spectrum Communications SCR-500 repeater has a power output of 25 watts. The antenna, a Diamond G7-144, provides approximately 6db gain, giving an effective radiated power (ERP) of 100 watts and providing coverage to a radius of approximately 30 miles (downtown Houston-downtown Galveston). The antenna is mounted atop the Building 1’s penthouse roof (effectively, the 11th floor).
The repeater has survived two hurricanes, tropical storms, and numerous Texas-sized thunderstorms. It has a back-up battery system designed to provide repeater operation for at least 36 hours. The repeater ID changes to “W5RRR BAT” when it is on battery power.
The JSCARC repeater carries the International Space Station (ISS) air-to-ground audio for local hams and non-hams. During shuttle flights, the mission audio is given over to the space shuttle mission audio. On landing, audio is switched back to ISS audio.
Because of the repeater’s wide-area coverage of the NASA-Clear Lake area and the JSCARC’s commitment to fulfill its public service obligation, the repeater is frequently used to provide communications for the many and varied public service events.

Scouts Go Flying May 2018
Alison Holton Assistant Group Scout Leader
The Scouts recently enjoyed the thrill of flying in a light aircraft at White Waltham airfield. For some it was the first time they had ever flown. Even for those that had, it was certainly nothing like flying in an average holiday airliner! First, the Scouts were given a tour of the hangar and then, one by one, were matched up with their personal pilot. After being strapped in, the light aircraft taxied to end of the runway and then they were off, marvelling in the magnificent aerial views of Berkshire on a glorious summer evening.
Thank you Mike Clews and your fellow pilots for enabling the Scouts to go up and enjoy an experience they'll never forget. Some of the older scouts were even allowed to take the controls for a moment.
Afterwards, Simon gave us a full tour of some of the amazing stunt mock-up planes, helicopters and cabins used in many a film including Mission Impossible, the Bourne series and The Night Manager. These were all (a little bit anyway) filmed at, or using planes from, this historic airfield.
Thanks to all involved for a truly memorable evening.

During the first half of Twentieth Century Bulgaria was among the notable nations in Europe in the field of aviation. In the beginning of that period – in 1912 “Bulgarian State Aircraft Workshops” (“Aeroplanes DAR”) was founded. It was created under the auspices and with the direct contribution of Bulgarian King Ferdinand I as a workshop for the national air force and later became a manufacturing company. The first manager was German aeronautical engineer and aircraft designer Hermann Winter. After his contract with “Aeroplanes DAR” finished he went back to Germany and created one of the most famous planes in German aviation history “Fieseler Storch”, an airplane with extremely short take-off and landing. In 1925 the company started producing airplanes under the name “DAR”. Various planes came out of the factory, including successful copies of German “Albatros C.III”, “Focke-Wulf Fw 44J” as well as the Bulgarian designed “DAR 10” light bomber. However, due to some uncertain circumstances and obstacles, in 1943 “Aeroplanes DAR” ceased to exist.

After the fall of communism, Bulgaria of the 90s was a place full of hope and enthusiasm. One of those enthusiasts was Mr. Tony Ilieff, an aeronautical engineer working at the Sofia International Airport. In 1995 he, with a small group of engineers started an ultralight aircraft producing company. He named the company “Aeroplanes DAR” thus partially reinstating the legendary “Bulgarian State Aircraft Workshops” from the first half of 20th century. Even the location of the new company has been chosen to be at the place where it all started almost a century ago. So, “Aeroplanes DAR” is an innovative company with a long history that began in the previous century. They are proud to say they are older than “Boeing”. From 1995 when Mr. Ilieff took over the company serial production became a priority. The target is mass production of single-, two- and four-seated ultralight and light airplanes based on mixed metal-composite technology.

"Washington" was the RAF designation for the famous Boeing B29, one example of which, the Enola Gay, dropped the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima. No B-29s were built for the RAF. All that were received (87 in total) were built for USAAF use many had seen active service before being transferred to the RAF in the early 1950s.
Chris Howlett is researching the history of the Washington Aircraft in general and would also be very keen to hear from you. He is producing an informative and extremely interesting newsletter on the subject. You access PDF copies of it using the links to the left.
Dave Forster has written an account of 192 Squadron Washington’s - If you are ex-RWE/CSE/192 Dave Forster would really appreciate hearing from you . . .
"Over the years I've managed to amass a fair bit of info on the technical and operational aspects of the squadron during the 1950s and beyond (it's surprising how much is in the public domain) - but I'd really like to get some personal recollections to tie everything together. I'm not looking for any earth-shattering revelations regarding overflights or anything like that - just some idea of what it was like to serve on the squadron during that period."


Exiled lawyer Miguna Miguna has embarked on his return journey to Kenya.
The Canadian-based lawyer had on Friday shared his flight details, revealing that he will travel to Nairobi via Paris from Berlin, aboard Air France.
“These are my flight details on Air France [AF 836, Airbus A320], from Berlin-Paris-Nairobi on Monday, November 15. I will update everyone on Monday, if Air France stops me from boarding because of the red alerts by the Kenyan government,” the lawyer tweeted.
However, court had on Friday, 12th, 2021 declined to lift a government red alert stopping him from coming back.
Court’s decision now puts Miguna’s plans to travel back to Nairobi in limbo- since according to his application there is no airline that will allow him to board their aircraft in the event that the red alert still exists.


We are excited to share the results of the latest development at Aero 2023 at Friedrichshafen. During the podiums discussion “Collision-avoidance” further details will be shared.
FLARM is the collision avoidance system and electronic conspicuity technology used by General Aviation and UAVs. Aircraft with a FLARM system issue visual and aural warnings when on a collision course with another aircraft. FLARM uses GPS and digital radio broadcasts to communicate with other aircraft. Many FLARM devices also incorporate an ADS‑B and transponder receiver. This enables aircraft that are not yet equipped with FLARM to be detected as well. FLARM is recommended by many aviation authorities and organizations. Over 60,000 manned aircraft, or more than 50% of General Aviation in Europe, already have a FLARM-system installed.
iwiation GmbH supports international authorities in accident investigation by providing flight-path-reconstruction based on video- & witness-information, 3D real-time-visualization and human factor analysis. The root cause analysis is used for the creation of lessons learned training. The most recent development is an artificial intelligence surveillance-system to improve aviation safety for small aerodromes that logs any flight activity with the capability to trigger customized warnings.

Captured together American Airlines DC-3 and a Stagecoach, circa 1939
Captured here are visions of the past and future riding side by side– pretty neat. The stagecoach paved the way for the modern day automobile and the DC-3 revolutionized air travel!
It was late 1938 when The DC-3 first took flight. According to the Smithsonian, prior to its introduction, “a flight from New York to Los Angeles typically required 25 hours, more than one airline, at least two changes of planes and as many as 15 stops or so.”
But because of the DC-3, all it took was a single plane to cross the country, usually stopping only three times to refuel. Today, this aviation game changer hangs suspended in the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum.


Tips to Flying Your SpaceRail Drone
Drones have grown quickly in popularity in the last few years and for good reason. They are fun and thanks to designers and engineers they have become affordable and user friendly. SpaceRails is also proud to offer a vast selection of drones that can be piloted by anyone. Before operating your first SpaceRail drone, there are some key points to remember to operating:
Tip #1 Fully Charge your Drone
For the maximum amount of fun, make sure that your SpaceRail drone is fully charged. The industry average for drone flight time is about 15 minutes.
Tip #2 Read the Instructions
While your drone charges, read the instructions. Each drone comes with their own remote control panel and features. Some have sensors that help them avoid objects, and others use GPS to return to their original take-off spot. Read the instructions thoroughly on your drone and ensure that you know how to operate each function.
Tip #3 Know the Laws
To ensure the safety of others, local governments have put drone related laws into play with the FAA. Requirements may include: registering your drone, no flying in specific areas (ie near airports, government buildings, national parks, etc), and no flying over a certain distance or height. Laws for the United States can be found here.
Tip #4 Choose the Right Flight Area
For beginners, we recommend choosing a large, flat, open area with no obstacles or protruding objects. An empty sports field or your car’s driveway works great. Ensure that the area is clear of objects that you can hit.
Tip #5 Practice Taking Off and Landing
Take a few minutes to practice take off and landing your SpaceRail drone. It’s best to familiarize yourself with the controls used, so that it’ll be easy to do so later on.
Tip #6 Time to Fly
After you’ve practiced the take-off and landing, take a step further and fly your drone left to right, right to left. Fly it up and down, vertically, and slanted.
Tip #7 Challenge Yourself and Have Fun with your SpaceRail Drone!
Once you’ve learned the basics of your drone, try inserting fun obstacles like traffic cones, suspended
loops, and poles. This is especially fun with the Moon Racer Flying Car. There are many competitions held for drones on obstacle courses. Try building your own and have fun!
These are the best tips for flying your drone. If you have any questions about your drone, please email email@example.com.


The initial emergency call sounded ominous – ‘small plane expecting to crash land at the Mesquite Municipal Airport.’
But as it turned out, the skillful pilot safely landed without much damage to himself or his experimental aircraft.
Fred Sorensen from Scenic, AZ was flying a 2000 Rans S-6 ES two seater airplane Wednesday afternoon when he lost one of three wheels.
“I think the wheel got knocked off the first time I tried to land. I felt something odd so I went back up in the air,” Sorensen told the Mesquite Citizen Journal.
Skydivers standing on the ground noticed Sorensen was missing the right wheel on his small aircraft and began hollering at him. “I was flying pretty slow and low to the ground,” he said.
Sorensen who has been flying since 1978 shut the engine off and attempted another landing. “I tilted
the airplane to the left and just came in very slowly. As I landed the plane swirled to the right and stopped.”
Larry Lemieux, Airport Manager, said Sorensen was only going about 20 to 30 miles per hour when he touched down.
In the meantime, fire crews and para-rescue units from Mesquite Fire & Rescue and units from the Mesquite Police Department raced to the airport not knowing what to expect.
When Sorensen finally landed, the skydivers and other airport personnel lifted the wing off the ground. Lemieux positioned his golf cart under the right wing. Together they all wheeled the small aircraft up to a hangar. A simple desk chair was placed under the body of the airplane to keep it balanced.
“I feel so damned embarrassed,” Sorensen said as he reflected back on the near tragedy. He was not hurt but the plane suffered “about $400 to $500 in damage,” he remarked.

Leadership in the Air Force: Understanding Future Challenges and Managing Change
Eric Fanning, under secretary of the Air Force, will discuss this topic. Note: This event is off the record.


December 1st 2015 witnessed an aviation milestone when the World’s largest passenger aircraft touched down at the Copenhagen Airport in Denmark. On this day, Emirates Airlines Airbus 380 landed at the airport from Dubai marking the first time that an aircraft of this type operated a scheduled service from a Scandinavian airport.
Receiving of the 615 passenger aircraft was characterized by much pomp and celebrations; and at hand to decorate the venue was reputed Danish floral designer Martin Bringstrup and his team from Bringstrup Blomster. Their flower of choice, top quality Porta Nova Red Naomi roses.
As an experienced florist, Martin knows all too well that for a high profile and important event such as this, the best rose that would bring out the right ambiance would be Porta Nova Red Naomi. Here are some moments during the event.


SpaceX and NASA declare shared mission after sparring squib
A visit by the NASA administrator to a rocket factory is usually a predictable show-and-tell of the latest gadgets destined for outer space.
But there may have been some tension below the surface last week when the current administrator, Jim Bridenstine, stopped by the headquarters of SpaceX, the private rocket company of billionaire Elon Musk, in Southern California. SpaceX is a major contractor for NASA.
He and Musk had been exchanging nettlesome messages for two weeks, and the visit might have been as much about smoothing over ruffled feelings as viewing space hardware.
Taking questions from reporters, both men were complimentary toward each other and said they shared the same goals: to launch NASA astronauts to the International Space Station on SpaceX’s Crew Dragon capsule as soon as possible, but not before the spacecraft had passed all of the needed tests.
“We’re honored to partner with NASA to make this happen,” Musk said. “This is a dream come true, really.”
The relationship between NASA and SpaceX has sometimes been fractious. The two are frenemies — odd, co-dependent bedfellows with shared dreams of pushing outward into the solar system, a cantankerous couple that cannot live with or without each other.
Absent NASA’s help and contracts over the past 13 years, SpaceX would not have become a powerhouse dominating the business of launching satellites to orbit. In return, SpaceX offers NASA cheaper costs for taking cargo — and in the coming months, perhaps, astronauts — to the space station.
But Musk has sometimes complained that NASA’s meticulous safety reviews were holding SpaceX back, while Bridenstine appeared to be wondering whether Musk’s dream of future Mars colonies was distracting the company from its obligations to NASA.


A Million Miles Away, the movie released on Amazon Prime Video in September 2023, showed us the true story of a man who did something incredible: born in a Mexican family of farmworkers, José Moreno Hernández wanted to become an astronaut since his childhood and managed with his determination to enter NASA and join a space mission in 2009. The movie does a great job explaining what it took for him to make his dream come true, and people were curious to know what he’s doing now: let’s discover his life after being an astronaut and his Tierra Luna Cellars project.
You can watch the official trailer for A Million Miles Away here on Youtube.
José Hernández now, from Astronaut to the Tierra Luna Cellars: the true story of A Million Miles Away
Yes, the movie A Million Miles Away on Amazon Prime Video is based on the true story of José M Hernández, a Mexican engineer born in a family of farmworkers who became an astronaut and joined a space mission. The movie is based on his autobiography, Reaching for the Stars: The Inspiring Story of a Migrant Farmworker Turned Astronaut, published in 2012.
His childhood, as portrayed in the movie, is authentic: he was a migrant worker with his family, and they used to live half a year in Mexico and the other half in the United States, harvesting crops that his father would later sell. However, his dream was to become an astronaut: he developed it after watching the Apollo 17 mission in 1972, when he was ten years old.
Witnessing José’s talents and aspirations, his parents decided to change life and give their children more stability so they could study regularly. José became an electrical engineer in 1984 and started working in a research center in 1990, where he developed a digital mammography imaging system that helps in the early detection of breast cancer.
Over the years, he applied for NASA’s space program many times, always being rejected. But in 2004, after 11 rejections, he got selected. He started the Astronaut Candidate Training and patiently waited for the right opportunity. In 2008, he was chosen as part of the team going into space for the STS-128 Space Shuttle mission, which launched on August 28, 2009. Below is the photo of the NASA team for that mission: José Hernández is the first one from the left.
José Hernández returned to Earth on September 11, 2009, after 14 days in space. After that, he kept working at NASA until his retirement in 2011.
Where is José Hernández now? After his experience at NASA, the former astronaut jumped into another personal project: he founded the Tierra Luna Cellars, a wine company that produces José’s own line of wines. José owns a small vineyard north of Lodi, the city in California where his parents live, and the names of his wines are inspired by Jose’s view of the constellations from space.
You can find Tierra Luna Cellars’ official website here, and here you can read the true story of José Hernández, as portrayed in the movie A Million Miles Away. And for the most curious among you: Tierra Luna is also the actual name of the restaurant his wife ran outside NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Texas, and José Hernández really used to help in the kitchen, when needed.
José Hernández also founded Tierra Luna Engineering, a manufacturing and consulting company oriented to aerospace services. You can follow José Hernández here on Instagram. His bio there contains all the things he is and has been in life: Retired NASA Astronaut, Motivational Speaker, President and CEO of Tierra Luna Engineering, Author, California Farmer.


Dubai: Air Arabia Abu Dhabi has flown its first flight between Abu Dhabi and Muscat. Air Arabia Abu Dhabi has announced a new service to Nepalâs capital city Kathmandu with direct flights from Abu Dhabi starting October 17. The maiden flight arrived at the Muscat International Airport and will operate bi-weekly flights between Abu Dhabi and Muscat. UAE's new low-cost airline 'Air Arabia Abu Dhabi' will start operations from the Capital in the first half of next year, said Tony Douglas, CEO of Etihad Aviation Group, on Monday. Air Arabia Abu Dhabi is still expected to launch in Q2 of 2020. As a result of the coronavirus, many airlines are having to rethink strategies and put plans on hold until a better time arises. The UAE Cabinet on Monday announced that Air Arabia Abu Dhabi would be one of the country's national carriers. Photo: Waka77 via Wikimedia Commons Starting a new low-cost airline. MUSCAT: Air Arabia Abu Dhabi started its operations between Abu Dhabi and Muscat on Monday. Air Arabia Abu Dhabi has been assigned the reservation code 3L by the International Air Transport Association (IATA). â Air Arabia (@airarabiagroup) September 29, 2020 The flight from Chattogram will depart from the Bangladeshi airport at 4.50pm and land at Abu Dhabi by 8.20pm. Based in Abu Dhabi, the carrier will adopt the low-cost business model followed by Air Arabia. Dubai: Air Arabia Abu Dhabi, the newly-announced budget airline, is expected to start operations by June 2020, though the inaugural route is yet to be confirmed. Air Arabia Abu Dhabi is a newly formed venture between Etihad and Air Arabia. The new carrier - called Air Arabia Abu Dhabi - is the fifth airline to operate from the UAE after Emirates, Etihad, flydubai and Air Arabia, serving 9.5 million residents. The Abu Dhabi-based low-cost airline, a joint venture between Air Arabia and Etihad Airways, will start its operations with two Airbus A320 aircraft based at Abu Dhabi International Airport. With the announcement of Air Arabia Abu Dhabi, Etihad could also have come up with the best alternative to pursue possibilities into India.

Chinese authorities have released details of a man who threatened airline crew with a fountain pen, leading to the diversion of an Air China flight on Sunday.
Police said a man, identified only as Mr Xu, 41, was taken into custody and had a history of mental illness.
Air China flight CA1350 was heading to Beijing from Changsha but had to make an emergency landing in Henan province.
No passengers or crew were harmed during the incident.
Photos circulating on Chinese social media showed a man holding a cabin crew member around the neck using the pen as a weapon.
The security bureau added that the flight was forced to make an emergency landing at 09:58am local time on Sunday and was diverted to the Chinese province of Henan. All passengers were safely escorted off the aircraft by 10:50am.
Mr Xu, who is said to be from Hunan’s An Hua county, was later taken into custody with police now looking into the incident. The security bureau did not add when, or if, he had been released.
Hao Junbo, a Beijing-based lawyer, told news outlet the Beijing Morning Post that the man would not be held criminally liable if he was proven to have been suffering from a mental illness at the time.

PROMOTING AVIATION HISTORY
As local residents would know, the skies over our island have become the playground for a variety of light aircraft which appear above us regularly and, more often than not, those aircraft are some of the many that are based at the Caboolture Airfield.
Having commenced operations in the mid-1980’s, this very busy airfield is not only home to several commercial operators including flying schools, it is also a place where those with an interest in the history of aviation can learn about the aircraft and aviators of days gone by through a visit to one of the museums located there.
One of these organisations is the volunteer operated Caboolture Warplane and Flight Heritage Museum which can be found on the perimeter of the airfield at Hangar 101 on McNaught Road. Now in its twenty-fifth year, the museum concentrates on promoting the history of both military and civil aviation to the wider community and as such, features displays of wartime memorabilia, information about the role of aviation in the various conflicts and a range of restored aircraft engines.
Visitors can also read about the tragic Lincoln crash at Mt Superbus in April 1955. Visitors to the museum can inspect a UH-1 (Huey) helicopter, an F111 crew escape module and a variety of other aircraft parts as well as having the opportunity to see one or more of the warbirds that are hangered on the premises.
These include a North American SNJ trainer, an Australian manufactured Winjeel and a P51-D Mustang which is partly owned by none other than Australia’s Red Bull Air Race Champion, Matt Hall.
These aircraft are all available for Adventure Flights along with Museum Vice President Ross Parker’s Wirraway 695. One other aircraft which can be found in Hangar 101 is the beautifully restored Gypsy Moth which was not only the first aircraft to land at Archerfield Airfield on its opening day in April 1931, it was the aircraft which was flown by Captain Charles Scott from London to Darwin in a record time which eclipsed Charles Kingsford- Smith’s time by nineteen hours.
The Caboolture Warplane and Flight Heritage Museum are open from 9 until 3 pm every day except for Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day so with an entry cost of only $10 for adults and $5 for seniors and children, it is definitely a low-cost way to spend a few hours. Discounts are available for group bookings and catering can be arranged.
Anyone requiring more information about this exceptionally interesting venue or perhaps would like to become a member and even a volunteer can call 5499 1144 during opening hours.
