UK RAES publishes briefing paper on eVTOL safety urbanairmobilitynews.com/air-taxis/uk-r…

Just a week after celebrating the 100th birthday of the incredible aviation artist Roy Cross, it's now my very sad duty to inform you that he has passed away.
His legacy will live on with many of us. Farewell and Blue Skies sir.

Now, witness the power of this fully operational Control Tower!

Happy #StarWarsDay .

Honey, I shrunk the A380 and put propellers on it!

Hopefully map will be filled out by Orbx/ED and more airbases/high detail areas added fairly quickly - but super topical NATO Northern Flank theatre & a great change to desert (Syria/Sinai/Persian Gulf) DCS maps. #avgeek #DCSWorld

Buzzing Murmansk at low level... #avgeek #DCSWorld

#Kola map is modern, late cold war - but with a bit of imagination and picking a suitable base - would also be great for RAF Banff Mosquito Coastal Command missions... Plus, of course, 633 Sqn! #DCSWorld

First impressions - stunning from high/medium altitude, but textures leave a bit to be desired. Fantastic playground though for low-level fun in the mountains! #avgeek #DCSWorld

V quick sightseeing flight on the new #DCSWorld #Kola map - and dispersed runway ops in the FinAF F-18 Hornet... #avgeek

Shout out to that time at work when we ferried the Royal Naboo Space Fighter Corps to Australia for integration training #StarWarsDay

The best view possible! Honored to have Office of the Secretary of the Air Force fly front seat during a recent X-62A VISTA test flight. The sortie evaluated the latest round of live #AI agents for combat aircraft. #AFMC U.S. Air Force U.S. Air Force Materiel Command ✈️ Air Force Test Center
