Today, Heli Niugini operates a modern fleet of over 15 aircraft consisting of 6 design types and employees over 160 highly skilled and motivated employees. The Fleet operates in excess of 10,000 hours per annum with work covering a wide spectrum, incorporating oil and mining exploration support, precision construction, general charter and flying in support of seismic operations.
This is a lot different from our humble start in the early 80’s when our then, parent company Heli Bougainville had one helicopter and only operated in Bougainville for CRA. In the mid 80’s, Heli Niugini was formed to take advantage of the prospering resource industry and has expanded ever since.
In 2007, a majority of shares in the company shifted to a group of shareholders that brought extensive PNG and operational experience, having owned, run and managed general business and aviation companies in PNG for over 40 years. These individuals brought with them solid business skills and the experience of operating helicopters and fixed wing aircraft world wide.
For Heli Niugini to progress into the future, the Board decided to update the fleet, and a program of replacing older aircraft with current models whilst maintaining the unique types within the fleet. This along with the appointment of a new management team, with extensive PNG, Australian and Asian aviation experience, will see the company dominate its area of the industry in PNG, Australia and Asia in the next decade.
The Board, management and staff are committed to providing a cost effective, safe and timely service to all clients, be it a single hour of charter or a multi year, multi aircraft resource project.
There are currently no jobs listed for Heli Niugini Ltd.

Airlines at Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport SYD
As of yet, over fifty active airlines operate at the Sydney Airport each and every month! They travel to nearly thirty destinations on well over 170 different routes.
The airline with the most destination from the Sydney Airport is Qantas Airlines, with almost 45 destinations across the world and across Australia.
Virgin Airlines, which also has a hub at the airport, travels to a little less than twenty destinations from the SYD.
It may be informative to mention that the airport code for Sydney Airport is SYD.
Airlines who consider the SYD as a hub
There are two major airlines that have very important hubs at the Sydney Airport. These airlines are arguably the largest in Australia, and they are Qantas Airlines and Virgin Australia.
Qantas Airlines has its hub at the third terminal, while Virgin Australia has its hub at the second terminal.
Other airlines consider this airport, which happens to be the largest and most important in the region, as a focus city. These airline companies include JetStar Airlines, Air New Zealand, and Rex Airlines.
Interestingly JetStar holds the second most number of routes taken from the SYD per month, with almost 25 routes.
Airlines in Sydney
The Sydney Airport consists of three distinct terminals, each handling specific airlines. For instance, the first terminal handles the majority of the international flights flying out of and into the SYD. Meanwhile, the other two terminals handle most of the domestic and regional flights.
This means that each Sydney airline has a designated terminal at which it operates its flights.
The airlines that operate at the first terminal include:
- Air Canada
- Air India
- Air Niugini
- Air Vanuatu
- Airasia X
- All Nippon
- Bamboo Airways
- CEBU Pacific
- Garuda Indonesia
- Xiamen Airlines
The airlines that operate at the second terminal include:
- Virgin Australia
- Japan Airlines (JAL)
- Jetstar Airways
- Link Airways
- Rex Regional Express
The airlines that operate at the third terminal include:
- Qantas Airlines
- Emirates Airlines
The above-mentioned lists are not comprehensive, and there are plenty more airlines operating on the grounds of the SYD. A good portion of these airlines do not have a particular terminal at which they operate at. They, by default, operate at the first terminal as most are international airlines, but their flights may be codeshare flights being run by other, local airlines.

At the moment Putney & Roehampton and enjoying relatively few aircraft movements - however night time aircraft noise remains an issue.
The Government has just held a consultation on the night noise regime for Heathrow, Gatwick and Stansted and the Society response, coordinated by Mike Fawcett, can be viewed by clicking here Response to Night Time Aircraft Noise Consultation
The current regime runs to October next year. The Government is then proposing to continue the regime as it exists for another two years, to October 2024, except that they propose a ban on the noisiest existing aircraft; this is virtually a fait accompli, certainly at Heathrow, since both British Airways and Virgin have now retired their Boeing 747s.
The Government is also seeking broad views on the regime which should apply after October 2024, which will then be subject to a further consultation.
Our response challenges the Government`s approach on this issue to date and advocates much more ambitious policies, ideally to ban all night flights, or at least to drive much more rapid progress towards quieter types of aircraft for the future.
Two bits of background:
1) the Government`s existing objective is to "limit or reduce the number of people significantly affected by aircraft noise at night, including through encouraging the use of quieter aircraft, while maintaining the existing benefits of night flights";
2) "ICAO" (to whom the draft refers in para 13) is the International Civil Aviation Organisation, a UN body which seeks to achieve global inter-governmental agreement on all aspects of civil aviation.

SARASOTA, Fla. (AP) — It’s dangerous — but there are still people who insist on doing it. A Florida man has been arrested for pointing lasers at airplanes approaching Sarasota Bradenton Airport. Authorities say Charlie Chapman Jr. aimed a laser toward four planes and a sheriff’s helicopter as they tried to land last week. One pilot says the laser hit him directly in the eyes, causing temporary blindness and lingering blurred vision. Chapman has been hit with a series of charges, including pointing a laser at a pilot resulting in injury.

A frightening situation occurred this week for a plane full of easyJet passengers, with a pilot calling over the tannoy that the plane cannot take off. More reassuringly it was not a mechanical fault but rather that the easyJet plane was too heavy to fly! Wind conditions at London Southend Airport in Essex were high and would make taking off too dangerous for the 156 passenger Airbus 319.
After an hour spent on the tarmac – 10 passengers volunteered to get off the easyJet plane, allowing it to continue on its journey to Malaga. Passengers that volunteered were each given £250 in compensation and re-booked onto a flight. One passenger told The Sun On Sunday “The biggest mystery is the fact they asked exactly ten passengers to leave, but some were fat, some were thin, some had luggage and some didn't.”
“Quite a few people put their hands up and easyJet just selected a few at random. How can they be sure this brought the plane down to a safe weight? It's not very reassuring.”
Safety comes first, but is this a sign of things to come? The obesity crisis may inflict more flight delays and increase the cost of flying for all.

So Canada is looking to replace it's current stock of FA-18s with a newer fighter. They have chosen the Lockeed F-35A as it's replacement, which has caused no small bit of howling from various factions within Canada.
The concerns are valid.
The Joint Strike Fighter program that produced the F-35 Lightning II was from the start an attempt to meet an impossible amount of demands: stealth, air-superiority, first rate avionice, carrier capable, STOVL, and somehow find enough time to be cheap.
So it ended up being all of those things and none of those things at the same time.
Basically, it's the worlds greatest stealth attack aircraft, so long as you don't want to carry too many munitions and don't wade too far into another significant Power's aerial defense.
And, so help you if you actually encounter another fighter that wasn't refit since the Cold War....


John Glenn Columbus International Airport is located within 6 miles (9.7 km) at the east of Columbus, Ohio. The airport codes are IATA: CMH, FAA LID: CMH, ICAO: KCMH. Previously the airport was known as Port Columbus International Airport. Nowadays, the airport is a publicly owned entity and is run by the Columbus Regional Airport Authority. Columbus Regional Airport Authority also oversees operations at Bolton Field and Rickenbacker International Airport. The airport has its code 'CMH,' which stands for "Columbus Municipal Hangar," which was the original name for the airport.
John Glenn Columbus International Airport operates 140 non-stop daily flights to 34 airports. The airport covers around 2,265 acres (which is 917 ha), including its two runways.
According to Annual Traffic Statistics, in 2016, the traffic at CMH reached 7.3 million. It was an 8% growth over 2015. In 2019 the airport set a new record by entering around 8.6 million passengers. After completion of the $80 million for terminal renovation, in 2017, the airport was ranked as the most improved airport in North America by trade organization called ‘Airports Council International.'
History, Business Activity, and Recent Improvements
On July 8, 1929, the John Glenn Columbus International Airportwas opened on a site selected by Charles Lindbergh. A new terminal building cost $12 million and opened in 1958. The Official Airline Guide of April 1957 shows approximately 72 airline departures each weekday at CMH: 41 TWA, 6 Eastern, 6 Lake Central, 16 American, and 3 Piedmont. TWA was the first major airline to fly into Columbus, and it kept a presence at the CMH airport over 70 years since the period of airline regulation.
The airport hosted Skybus Airlines since 2007. It was known as the cheapest airline in the United States, which offered a minimum of ten seats, each for $10 on every flight. Later Skybus ceased the operations in 2008.


Up to 15 exports of E-190 E2 aircraft, of the E-Jets E2 family, to Norwegian enterprise Widerøe, will have the support of up to US$ 85 million from the Bank
The Brazilian Development Bank (BNDES) has approved the first financing of exports of Embraer’s new family of commercial jets. The operation aims to export aircrafts of the E190-E2 model, the first member of the E-Jets E2 family, to Norwegian regional airline Widerøe.
The commercial contract between Widerøe and Embraer foresees the possibility of exercise of purchase options for E2 aircraft in the coming years, which may result in a total export of up to 15 aircraft. Widerøe is the largest regional airline in Scandinavia and will be the first airline in the world to receive the new E190-E2 model. The first commercial flight is scheduled for 24 April in Norway.
Norway has the ecological cause as one of its main undertakings (being the main donor of resources to the Amazon Fund, managed by BNDES), and the acquisition of the first E2 by an airline of the country attests to the product being the most environmentally friendly in its category. According to Embraer, the new systems and motors of E190-E2 save 17% in fuel consumption, as well as featuring lower emissions of gases and noise, compared to the first E190 generation.
BNDES’s Role – BNDES’s support has been an important component to ensure investment in innovation to stimulate exports of the aeronautical sector, a strategic industry for Brazil that generates highly qualified jobs with good remuneration.
In addition to financing the marketing of the first aircraft of a newly released model, opening up a new market, BNDES was present in the development of Embraer’s new jets family. Between 2014 and 2015, the Bank allocated R$ 1.2 billion to the project, in line with its strategic priority of supporting investments in innovation.

When he was nine years old, Chris Hadfield yearned to be an astronaut. When he was 35, he was preparing for launch as part of the flight crew of the shuttle Atlantis to help build the Russian space station Mir. He has crossed Canada in the time it takes to drink a cup of coffee, but will take his time travelling this year during his sold-out Canada 151 tour.
Commander Chris Hadfield will be in Halifax on March 1 at the Dalhousie Arts Centre. “I’ll show images of course, from space, and from Canada’s high Arctic, and I’ll play some music because that’s a wonderful way to share and think about who we are,” says Hadfield. “I want people to come away with a renewed sense of inspiration and optimism and drive and purpose in what they’re doing.”
The East Coast holds many memories. “I used to deploy out of Nova Scotia and Newfoundland to intercept armed Soviet bombers during the height of the Cold War,” he says. His youngest son attended Mount Allison University, his eldest son went to Acadia University and his daughter was a professor at Dalhousie. “We’re also helping to support one of the Syrian refugee families in Halifax.”
Hadfield has flown in space three times. He was the first Canadian to operate the Canadarm to help build the International Space Station. “I felt immensely ready. You might be afraid, but really the only thing I was afraid of was that they wouldn’t let us go that day,” he says. “It’s kind of interesting to think that I was a government employee doing my job and on the order of half a million people came just to watch and share in the excitement of it at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.”
He says five months he was in space in 2012 were magnificent. “You’re weightless and the whole world is pouring by at eight kilometres a second,” he says. “You go around the world 16 times a day. You cross Canada in nine minutes. You see our entire country in nine minutes. And so to be in the midst of all that was an amazing, demanding, and stimulating place to be.”
After three space trips and 21 years as an astronaut, Hadfield retired. “It’s the hardest physical in the world to pass in order to be qualified and trusted to go live on a space station,” he explains. “The most demanding physical in the world, just to keep your job. And that gets harder and harder as you get older.”
Hadfield says he is still very interested in space exploration and would still consider a one-way journey to Mars. “Nobody here gets out alive and it’s not the prolongation of life that is important, it’s what you do in life that matters. It’s a grand adventure, it’s complicated, it’s dangerous, and so of course I’m interested in it, but it’s the how and why that interests me the most, not just the doing of it.”


Start brushing up on that CV
The European Space Agency are recruiting astronauts. I’m probably a bit old now – and far too unfit – but this is the job I always wanted to have. If you want to go for it in my place, drop me a line and I’ll write you a good reference.

Counting the Milestones and Miles to go in African Aviation
“For once you have traversed the African sky; everything else will always be your second love”. In almost every single conversation I have had with any pilot that has flown the African skies, it all tends to gravitate towards the beauty of Africa. The picturesque landscape never gets tiring to fly over.
While the landscape may be a pleasure to cross, there are several challenges that do face the industry. The industry has not enjoyed a good reputation in safety. There was a period when aviation did have a high rate of accidents. This was largely due to older fleets, inadequate training, and poor airport facilities.
This has changed over the years. There has been an improvement in Air Traffic Control, Radar, Ground Instrument Systems (ILS, GPS, etc.), and airports in general. This can be seen in large aviation markets such as: South Africa, East Africa, and West Africa.
There are many tangible milestones. The growth of aviation can be seen from the ground up. The number of flight training schools that have opened up around the continent is evidence of the direct demand for pilots. The number of airlines setting up base and operating in Africa is also proof of the demand for air travel.
Aviation in Africa is the next big frontier. Many investors have been flocking in to see where to best double their currency. Regional airlines seem to be a good bet. RwandAir is a good example; they recently purchased two Airbus A330-200. Many other African Airlines are modernizing their fleets with bigger and better aircraft.
Companies such as Gainjet Aviation are planning to expand to Africa. While existing airlines from different African countries are contemplating opening one multinational airline. Countries and aviation companies are trying to compute new aviation models that will work for Africa.
There is a big push for the liberalization of African Aviation. Connectivity is a must if the continent wants to realize its universal potential. This will help in the expansion of trade in several African industries such as tourism, agriculture, business and social travel.
The combination of diverse industries and businesses is what makes Africa unique. With a lot of them raising the demand for air travel. There are a lot of untapped potentials and raw materials. There will soon be a big rush to enter the African aviation market. I believe that there will be nothing but happy ‘footprints’ left across the African sky.

My Brother-in-law Pat is a pilot and gives us the heads up whenever there's something cool going on. My boys love going to the airport and yesterday they had 5 old war planes on display. They were AMAZING! I had a cousin who was shot down in the last months of the Vietnam War and since then I have had a special place in my heart for Air Force Pilots. Joel's grandfather was also a pilot and best friends with Charles Lindbergh. They learned to fly together in the Air Force and remained friends their entire lives. Looking at these planes brought all of the stories I've read and heard about to life. The pride that I felt as we looked at these old planes was amazing. We stayed just long enough to watch the biggest one take off. Unbelievable was the only word I could think of to describe what I was feeling. As it turned and flew back by us I got a huge lump in my throat for all those who died for my freedom and for those still serving to keep me free. I am so thankful for my country and for the Freedom we have.


Earlier today, Ronaldo’s £15m private jet crashed at Barcelona Airport whilst trying to land. Although the footballer was not on the plane at the time, it is reported that the landing gear got obliterated directly upon impact with the runway.
Once news of the incident emerged amongst airport officials, the runway was immediately shut. The Portuguese star often rents his plane out to private companies- which was the case this evening.
A statement said:
“Cristiano Ronaldo, his family or friends were not on the plane. The incident had no major consequences.”
This event comes on the same day as the release of FIFA 17. Of course, Twitter had something to say:
Ronaldo's Private Plane Makes crash landing at Barcelona Airport. Thank God He and his family is save 😢🙏

Cristiano Ronaldo’s plane has crash landed in Barcelona. It then writhed around on the runway for 5 minutes until it was awarded a free kick

About Blue Bagger
Our founder and inventor, Rick Duncan, has designed creative solutions for the aerospace industry for more than 20 years. The idea for the Blue Bagger “hit” Rick while he was working in ground support for one of the world’s largest regional airlines about 25 years ago. While emptying the airplane lavatory at CVG airport, Rick was literally “hit” with waste and blue juice during the antiquated lavatory service process. That led Rick to wonder “how can I improve this nasty job?”.
25 years later, the problem that repeatedly “hit” Rick while working in aircraft lavatory service on the tarmac still exists. ‘Blue juice’ and human waste drips, spills, and dumps still contaminate service workers, tarmacs, and hangars every day around the world. Rick worked diligently for many years with the team at Blue Bagger, Inc. to perfect the design of the Blue Bagger.
Our goal at Blue Bagger, Inc. is to improve this lavatory service process, help protect service workers, and better protect the environment.

It must have been an unbelievable experience to be able to say “I hope I never recover from this moment“.
Don’t we all want this type of experience?

Yes, there are too few women who are trained and employed as software engineers, but there are women out there quietly programming their way to history. And some of them have been doing this for decades. Case in point, Margaret Hamilton helped write the code that allowed astronauts Armstrong and Aldrin to land on the moon in 1969. Last week she was awarded the Medal of Freedom by President Obama.

here is a reason why Anand Mahindra has over seven million followers on Twitter. Not only because he provides professional and personal updates but also for the humorous tweets that he posts. His latest tweet on 'space movies' will explain the aforementioned statement. After ISRO Chief K.

"We'll finally have our own space movies," Mahindra tweeted after the announcement of the space station was made.


This exhibition presents three installations by contemporary artists, focusing on space exploration and terraforming.
Ivan Henriques has developed a new "bio-drone" that stimulates atmospheric formation on other planets. In collaboration with the X-Lab of Hasselt University, artist Frederik De Wilde created a sculpture that reflects on interstellar space travel in the anthropocene. The "Space Farming Project" from the collective SEAD (in collaboration with Angelo Vermeulen) looks ahead to the future of humans in an interstellar context. In collaboration with a team of experts associated with Howest, the artist developed several experiments and prototypes that further investigate the cultivation of plants in space.
"Orbit Space" is a multi-year project realized by Gluon with the support of the Ministry of Culture of the Flemish Government

There is “no hope” of finding missing Cardiff City footballer Emiliano Sala alive, a rescue official has said.
The Argentine striker, 28, and a pilot were on board the plane which lost contact off Alderney in the Channel Islands on Monday night.
Chief officer of Channel Islands Air Search, John Fitzgerald, said “even the most fit person” would only last a few hours in the water.
The search for the missing aircraft and its occupants resumed on Wednesday.
Sala reportedly sent a WhatsApp voice message to family. Sounding conversational and jokey, he said he was “so scared”.
Media in Argentina reported he said: “I’m on a plane that looks like it’s going to fall apart.”
Guernsey Police said there were three planes and one helicopter in the air as they searched for traces of the Piper Malibu plane.

Twin piston charter planes are an economical alternative to more expensive charter aircraft in the turboprop category. Contrary to some passengers' first impression, these aircraft and crew are equally qualified under FAA regulations as their larger and more expensive counterparts, making them a safe and prudent option in the right situations.
Turboprop charter planes, sometimes referred to as a jet prop charter aircraft, are extremely popular among leisure travelers with groups ranging from four to nine passengers. They are even more sought after by savy business executives and teams from companies in need of efficient travel for site visits and meetings, particularly for remote locations or cities underserved by commercial airlines, such as United or Delta Airlines.
Small jets in both the the very light jet (VLJ) category, which includes the Cessna Citation Mustang, Eclipse 500 and Embraer Phenom 100, and the standard-sized light jet grouping are very busy charter jets serving individuals and business executives, alike. Companies from a wide variety of industries and geographical locations throughout the USA, Canada and Mexico rely on point-to-point light jet charter flights to conduct business or maximize time.
The single-engine piston charter plane category, which includes the SR-22 and the older Beechcraft Bonanza, offer some of the cheapest air charter flights when they are well-positioned for a particular flight and available. Keep in mind that passenger and luggage load is very limited in this charter airplane category.
Twin-engined piston charter planes are often not initially considered by clients seeking air charter options. However, when price comparisons are made for suitable flights, such as those in the 200 to 600 miles range, the twin piston aircraft often become quite attractive to charter customers. Many people are not aware of the aircraft in this category exempt for the hefty 7.5% Federal Excise Tax (or FET) on charter flights, which can further extend significant cost savings to individuals and companies seeking air charter services from a local vendor. The Cessna 340 pictured above is one example of a twin piston aircraft that is FET exempt.
Turboprops, such as the King Air 200 and the Pilatus PC-12 (pictured above), are often referred to as the SUVs of the skies. Turboprops are one of the most common aircraft used in the private air charter industry for a number of reasons. Turboprops are relatively low cost aircraft when comparing airplane performance capabilities, cabin size and comfort amenities to light jets of similar size. Turboprops also lend themselves more easily to single pilot operations, which may reduce additional costs. In terms of the prices for hourly rates of charter aircraft, the turboprop category is often tough to beat from a "best value" paradigm.
The very light jet (or VLJ) category generally includes three popular aircraft, including the: Cessna Citation Mustang; Eclipse 500; and the Embraer Phenom 100. Many light jets may be certified to be flown both dual and single pilot, though many operators choose to always fly with dual pilot operations. Typically VLJs are marketed as 4 seat aircraft, in terms of passenger capability. However, it is important to understand that the 4th cabin seat in the Eclipse 500 has very little to no leg room and, for that reason, is more often removed. At the same time, when flown single pilot, a fourth passenger may sit in the co-pilot seat--which also means you could potentially carry 5 passengers on some very light jets. Keep in mind that luggage capability is limited, particularly with a large passenger load.
The Learjet family of light jets, including the Lear 35 pictured above, features a number of popular models utilized extensively in the air charter industry. Both the Learjet 35 and Lear 35A are commonly available as popular older models often fitted with refurbished interiors and new exterior paint. The newer models include the Lear 31 and Learjet 31A, which are arguably the ultimate realization of the Learjet series dating as far back as the early 1960s. While the Lear 36 and 36A are also available, they are not as prominent in the industry as the older 35 and newer Lear 31 models. Other popular aircraft in the light jet category include the Hawker 400XP and Nextant variant, Beechjet 400A, Falcon 10 and a wide variety of the Cessna Citation models.
Mid-jet aircraft, such as the Hawker 800XP pictured or the older 800A model, are highly desirable over light jets primarily because the cabin is significantly more comfortable--particularly with regard to the usability of the lavatory. In fact the main difference between a mid jet and a super mid jet isn't necessarily the width of or height of the cabin. Rather, the super mid category is typically longer in cabin length resulting in an essentially equal comfort fit per captain's chair for the passengers. Other popular mid jet models include the Dassault Falcon 20, the older Hawker 700 or 750, the Learjet family (such as the newer Learjet 45 or the Lear 55 or Lear 60) and the Cessna models, such as the Citation III or Citation Excel, to name a few.
The Reno-Tahoe International Airport located approximately 3 miles southeast of downtown Reno, Nevada is the closest airport to Tahoe with commercial airline services. A number of passenger airlines, as well as cargo carriers and air charter companies offering small jet flights to fly direct to New York, Denver, or Houston and turboprop charter flights to access nearer cities such as SNA or VNY in Los Angeles/LA or San Francisco/Oakland fly in and out of Reno-Tahoe International Airport. Private jet charter flights to Chicago are also popular among business executives in the mining and energy industry based in Reno. Charter flights to and from Vancouver, BC and other cities in Canada is also available. The Reno airport is assigned the ICAO airport code of KRNO. Both the IATA and FAA assigned code for Reno's airport is fittingly RNO. The city is proud to now host an airport which offers a fair number of non-stop flight destinations. With it's recent upgrades, including several restaurants and boutique stores, as well as free WiFi, the RNO has much to offer travellers seeking these more up-scale amenities. A variety of hotels offer free shuttle service. Reno bus service is also now available from the airport. Of course, several car rental agencies have desks on-site and many off-site rental agencies are also available, sometimes at cheaper prices. Travellers continuing on to Tahoe may take Interstate 80 to Truckee, drive to South Reno and follow Mount Rose Highway to Incline Village or travel to Carson City and take U.S. Highway 50 over Spooner Summit, continuing on to South Shore. For scenic travellers, less direct routes can be accessed by driving even farther south to access the basin via Hope Valley or Kingsbury Grade.

The only way for me to visit those interesting places in KL is when my sister and her family are in town. Else, it would be once in a blue moon for hubby and I, to explore the city of KL. So this time, we chose Royal Malaysian Air Force Museum a.k.a Muzium TUDM.
This airbase is the oldest base in the history of Malaysian aviation. It was handed over from British to RMAF on 1960 where it served as the country first International Airport before it moved to Subang in 1965.
It was raining when we decided to visit TUDM Museum. I had no idea that this place is open to public, until my good friend, Skin, brought her kids here. Nothing much to expect from this place, but for kids, it is a good place for them to experience the carrier, fighter jet, helicopter, and etc. And all of them are all phased-out aircraft, as per below list.
- Cessna 310F donated by Antah-Sedgewick-Chartered
- DH Chipmunk donated by Royal Thai Air Force
- DH Tiger Moth donated by British Aerospace
- Canadair Tebuan CL41G ex-RMAF Kuantan
- NA Harvard acquired from Fred W. Patterson III in exchange for a Tebuan
- DH Heron donated by Sri Lanka Air Force
- HU-16 Albatross ex-RMAF Subang
- A-4PTM Skyhawk ex-RMAF Kuantan
- BAe Scottish Aviation Bulldog ex-RMAF Alor Star
- Bell 47G-5A ex-RMAF Kluang
There were fun activity too, where kids can learn and know how rocket departs and how far it can go, just by using soda. Cool huh? The newly developed hangar also displays variety of aircraft. Though it is not more than 30, it is said that more and more aircraft are coming in.
For more info, you can visit their website at http://www.malaysian-museums.org/rmaf/ and you can bring back a souvenir from there, by visiting their gift shop that sells flight models, magazines, books, cd-roms, t-shirts, and such.
Entrance is free.
For me, it is a also must place to visit, especially when you wish to "plant" the word "pilot" in your kid's growing medula oblongata :) hahaha!

The Honourable Kerry-Lynne D. Findlay, Q.C., Associate Minister of National Defence and Member of Parliament for Delta – Richmond East, and the Honourable Ron Cannan, Member of Parliament for Kelowna-Lake Country, announced a significant maintenance contract to support the CC-115 Buffalo and CC-138 Twin Otter aircraft fleets that will sustain 54 full time jobs in Kelowna, B.C.
“These fleets are key to our Royal Canadian Air Force and its ability to carry out important missions such as critical search and rescue,” said Minister Findlay. “This contract demonstrates the Government of Canada’s commitment to ensuring our men and women in uniform continue to have well maintained equipment that is ready to support operations.”
Kelowna Flightcraft Limited has been awarded a $15 million contract to conduct
third-level maintenance activities, which include: depot-level in-depth inspection and major repair of items, component repair and overhaul, technical investigations, modification designs, manufacture and assembly of prototypes, and engineering support.
“Kelowna Flightcraft has established itself as a highly respected Canadian company within the aviation industry and is a cornerstone of our local economy,” said Mr. Cannan. “Our community welcomes the federal government’s support of Kelowna Flightcraft, which provides well-paying, highly skilled jobs in the Okanagan. Congratulations to the Flightcraft team and its employees for their outstanding work.”
Canada’s fleet of six CC-115 Buffalo airplanes is primarily used for search and rescue duties in Canada’s west, while our fleet of four CC-138 Twin Otter aircraft support operations in Canada’s north, including transport and search and rescue. This two-year contract that includes one optional one-year extension which if exercised could increase the value of the contract to $24.9 million, will ensure that airworthiness of the fleets is supported and maintained.
This contract builds on the numerous initiatives pertaining to Canada’s search and rescue system recently announced by the Honourable Peter MacKay, Minister of National Defence. These include the first Quadrennial Search and Rescue Review, which brings together federal, provincial, and territorial partners, as well as private sector and thousands of dedicated volunteers, to ensure Canadians continue to have the most robust search and rescue system possible.

Jet engine maker General Electric Co (GE.N) is aligned with “near-term” plans of both Airbus (AIR.PA) and Boeing (BA.N) to ramp up production, its Chief Executive Larry Culp said on Tuesday.
Culp, however, declined to comment on Airbus’ plan to go beyond an immediate ramp-up and almost double production of its best-selling A320 jets by 2025. This plan has drawn criticism from engine makers and aircraft leasing companies about the risk of overproduction during a fragile airline industry recovery from the pandemic.
“We will talk about those conversations with them directly behind closed doors,” Culp said. “There is no need to have that conversation publicly at this time.”
In May, Airbus announced a firm target of increasing A320-family production from 40 planes a month to 64 by the second quarter of 2023 and said it was asking suppliers to enable a “scenario” of 70 a month by the first quarter of 2024. The planemaker also said it was investigating rates as high as 75 by 2025.
Industry sources say suppliers have agreed to support the firm goal of 64 a month but have yet to reach agreement on supporting the higher rates, fearing that demand would fail to meet expectations.
Earlier, Raytheon Technologies (RTX.N) Chief Executive Greg Hayes said he was skeptical whether the market would support Airbus rates as high as 75 a month.
Raytheon Technologies owns Pratt & Whitney which competes with GE-Safran (SAF.PA) venture CFM to supply jet engines for the best-selling Airbus A320 family.

What our Students say
Excellent Flight School! I am currently a student at QualityFly- and I really enjoy attending the school. The school has a happy atmosphere and I enjoy going to the school on a daily basis. The curriculum is delivered by experienced instructors who will always be happy to help students if they need it. I have made many friends in the school and feel that I have made a wise choice choosing QualityFly.
I’m currently an integrated student with Quality Fly, and these are the reasons for my rating. My experience with Quality Fly has overall been very good, the people are very friendly and genuine, they are very approachable, always going out of their way to to help, and the standard of English is very good.The facilities are good and the school are constantly updating them, the aircraft are also in very good condition. The school is situated in Madrid which is very ideal for maintaining a good work/social balance. I would highly recommend Quality Fly for flight training, as I have visited several schools in several countries, who have not been as helpful or efficient.
I'm an ATPL student in Quality Fly and I must say that I've had a great experience here, If you work hard you can get the ATPL quickly and they will always help you in everything you need.

If it's .85 lunar distances, that means it's .15 lunar distances from the lunar ... I mean Moon!
The path of this rock cuts inside the lunar orbit. Nasa has an animation that shows the moon going "shit!, shit! shit!" as it skirts out of the way. Click the image at the Nasa page to see the animation.
I hope those guy's calcs are right. It would not take a direct hit on this dirtball of a planet to do us in. All that would have to happen is a collision with the moon. Maybe the Mayan calender isn't bs after all.
Where's my tinfoil hat, my head is cold.
update: Oh here's an encouraging footnote on the Nasa page I missed.
Although classified as a potentially hazardous object, 2005 YU55 poses no threat of an Earth collision over at least the next 100 years. However, this will be the closest approach to date by an object this large that we know about in advance and an event of this type will not happen again until 2028 when asteroid (153814) 2001 WN5 will pass to within 0.6 lunar distances
