In memorial to the Battle if Britain and honoring the pilots from Canada that fought in the RAF? ...would be my guess.

Polish MoD on a shopping spree.

EC725 (now H225M) practically* wins the tender for 50 multirole medium helicopters along with maintenance for many years.

Patriot chosen as the future Missile and Air Defense System

Soon:

Attack helicopters to replace Mi-24

UAVs

Tomahawk cruise missiles

 

Only in-flight testing ahead to confirm the declared parameters.

That would be my guess as well but I just wanted to make sure I don't misunderstand the symbology. Thank you guys!

 

Maybe the Polish paint of their planes the same then you two can meet here with ours and have a pint.......;)

 

Cos I'm sure you was in BoB aswel...?

The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

USAF starts researching helmet-mounted cueing for F-22

 

The US Air Force has moved a step closer to equipping the Lockheed Martin F-22 cockpit with a helmet-mounted cueing system.

 

A market research study launched on 23 March by the Air Force Lifecycle Management Command begins a potentially multi-year acquisition effort to equip an air force fleet consisting of about 180 F-22s, including about 150 combat-coded aircraft.

 

The “sources sought notice” will decide whether existing or emerging products can address a broad range of capability requirements listed by the air force.

 

The requirements include using the helmet to cue sensors and weapons. The helmet should integrate symbology and colour imagery with enhanced night vision systems. The new system also “must not hinder pilot performance during all phases and durations of flights”, the air force notice says.

 

The air force also wants a helmet that overlays display imagery over an external field of view generated by a camera.

 

The solicitation comes nearly two years after the air force’s operational testers began evaluating the Visionix Scorpion helmet-mounted cueing system on the F-22.

 

Integrating the helmet-mounted cueing system will allow the F-22 to exploit the high off-boresight capability of the Raytheon AIM-9X Sidewinder missile. The air force plans to integrate the datalinked AIM-9X Block II missile in 2017 under the increment 3.2 upgrade programme.

To whom it may concern,

I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that.

Thank you for you patience.

Sad news from Seville:

Today at 1.00 PM an Airbus A-400M crash short after take off, killing all the crew.

It was a normal test flight, and the eight crew were Airbus spanish workers.

The info is a bit confusing at the moment, but seems that the aircraft had a loss of power just after the take off.
