Chatter out of #Canada prompted this question from AvBrief.com:
"Last Season For the Snowbirds? Canadian Government Mulls Suspending Demo Team"
This is not a done deal by any means. Apparently the Canadian Air Force is down quite a few #pilots, and might be thinking of using these top sticks as non-air show pilots. Article says it might not be a cancellation, just a "five year pause."
We love the #Snowbirds here, hopes this does not come to pass.

🧐"A #hardlanding in #aviation parlance is usually an unintentional #landing where an #aircraft hits the ground with excessive vertical speed & force.. While an unstable approach is often considered the most common reason for hard landings, mechanical issues, adverse weather conditions, & #pilots initiating the landing🤔 flare too late or incorrectly can all cause them"

For 1st time, #Russian spy ship #Yantar used lasers against Royal Air Force pilots who were tracking it near UK waters
He said he ship entered #UK waters for the second time this year in recent weeks and was located north of #Scotland when the incident occurred.
Healey called the incident a deeply “dangerous move” that would be taken seriously.

A friend points out that the success of the #Ukrainian #drone #attack on #Russian #airfields has to have the US and other large #defense #industries rather jittery. All those big high-tech megabucks systems ... something something ten-rupee jezail.
My suspicion is that the age of drone supremacy will be short-lived: as long as they rely on human #pilots on the ground, their #signals can be jammed, traced, or hacked. Best-case scenario, the drones become flying bricks. Middle-case, the ground control facilities become #artillery targets. Worst-case, the drones are turned against their erstwhile controllers.
Those systems already exist in embryonic form—note that #Ukraine had to rely on old-fashioned #infiltration to get close enough for the strikes to work. You can bet every major #military power on the planet is already putting a lot of money into R&D for much more sophisticated approaches. Of course the alternative is autonomous drones, taking off with a set of mission parameters and the same decision-making authority as pilots in crewed #aircraft. That, uh, presents its own set of problems.
With all this said, drones are going to be a big *part* of everyone's arsenal going forward, and yeah, it's going to disrupt current #doctrine considerably. Assuming Ukraine survives the war, which I'm increasingly confident it will, veterans will be in great demand as consultants—at least in smart countries. I wonder if the US will be one of those.

Oh man this is funny. #GeneralAviation #pilot asks an #ATC for her number to ask her out and gets shut down HARD. He is not going to live this down for a VERY long while! (In other news it's nice to hear some professional levity that's not directly in-response to a collision or emergency. Nice change of pace.) #airplanes #aviation #pilots #flying #AirTrafficController #GA #burned #funny
