The EAA night airshow is like nothing I’ve ever seen before. Drones, lasers, pyrotechnics, and aircraft all blended together to form an aviation spectacular like no other. A KC135 refuelling a F-35 whilst the runway exploded was only a tiny part of what was going on. Drone shows are... show more

Military Drone Expert says he knows what’s going on with the “drones” “I have figured out what the drone situation is. I was in the army active duty. I worked on drones.

I’ve had the privilege a few times to be on the inside of this iconic aircraft as it launched skyward. Definitely a pinch me moment. Have you ever had an #aviation moment that thought was Uber cool ? #flying

🇺🇸 FLYING TAXIS JUST GAVE THEIR FIRST PUBLIC DEMO IN THE U.S It's no longer sci-fi; they’re real, and they just made their first public flights in the U.S. It happened at the California International Airshow, where Joby Aviation and Archer Aviation demoed their electric vertical takeoff aircraft (eVTOLs) in front of a live crowd. Each vehicle flew for about 10 minutes, lifting off vertically, hovering, cruising, and landing with ease, no runway needed. This marks the first time Americans have seen flying taxis in action in person. “It’s the future,” an announcer said. And for once, it didn’t sound like hype. A full rollout is yet to be announced.

An iconic 9W widebody bids Mumbai farewell. For years, Mumbai was at the heart of Jet Airways’ operations, and aircraft like the Boeing 777-300ER was a defining part of the city’s aviation landscape. Departing from #CSMIA, this former Jet Airways aircraft marks the end of a memorable era. For many, this wasn’t just a departure. It was a goodbye to a beloved part of aviation, and a final glimpse of a familiar 9W silhouette from the airport it once called home.

Second night of drones flying over my house. Marlton, NJ - I’ve seen like 6-7 of them just one after the other in a similar path. Friend who is a state trooper said that helicopters can’t keep up or maneuver with them. What the hell is going on? #njdrones #UAPSightings

It was impossible not to be impressed by the Lockheed Constellation brought to EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2025 by the Lewis Air Legends museum in San Antonio, Texas. It had been on the field at AirVenture 2023; however, at that time it was basically a huge, fantastically detailed, empty flying tube because the interior had yet to be installed. In 2025, it was showing off its new interior, which definitely continued the massive amount of detailing begun by its exterior. It carried on the airplane’s theme of elegance and unreal attention to detail. #aviation #warbird #OSH25 #Oshkosh #AirVenture #Lockheed #Constellation

Russia brought its “key projects” to the Dubai Airshow 2025 — trying to show that it still has the aviation industry under control The released video features a test pilot performing aerobatic maneuvers in a Su-57. Moscow has spent years presenting this jet as its fighter of the future, though in reality it appears in the military only in tiny numbers. Alongside the Su-57, the delegation showcased the upgraded Yak-130M combat trainer and the IL-76MD-90A(E) heavy transport aircraft. All of it looks like a desperate attempt to convince partners that Russian aviation is still alive despite sanctions, supply failures and a growing technical breakdown.

🇮🇳 Nice try, but your “BREAKING news” forgot the only breaking part: your credibility. You posted a 14-second video of an unidentified aircraft in flight, no fireball, no impact, nothing, and somehow declared it a “Chinese J-35 crash.” Adorable. Meanwhile, the only fighter that actually did crash at an airshow this year, with a full fireball, black smoke, debris, and a confirmed fatality, was India’s own HAL Tejas, on Nov 21 at the Dubai Airshow, in front of thousands of witnesses and dozens of cameras. Here’s the reality you’re trying so hard to bury: • Tejas flew 8–9 minutes, lost control during a negative-G maneuver, and went nose-first into the ground. • The impact produced a massive explosion and a plume of smoke across the entire airport. • Indian media themselves reported visible fluid leakage from the aircraft before the show even began. • This was already the second Tejas crash in months. So before you fabricate a J-35 crash out of a random cloud video, maybe explain why India’s only “indigenous” fighter can’t even survive an airshow, and why the pilot died before he could eject. At least show your audience enough respect to lie with a real video next time. Your propaganda crashed harder than the Tejas.

Anniversary of the major operation “Spiderweb” — the strike that humiliated Russia like never before On June 1, 2025, 117 FPV drones simultaneously attacked four Russian airbases, including Belaya, Olenya, Dyagilevo, and Ivanovo. A significant blow was dealt to Russia’s strategic aviation, including Tu-95, Tu-22M3, Tu-160, and A-50 aircraft. The estimated damage runs into billions of dollars. The drones were smuggled into Russia in advance and hidden near the targets before being activated remotely. All participants in the operation were in Ukrainian territory at the time of the strike.

Putin on the drone incident in Romania: Ms. von der Leyen was not in Romania. She did not examine the remains of this drone. No one can say what the origin of a particular aircraft is until an examination of that aircraft has been carried out. After all, we know that Ukrainian drones have also flown into Finland, Poland, and some of the Baltic countries. The first reaction was exactly the same as it is now in Romania. "Oh no, the Russians are coming, the Russians are attacking." Then, after a short while, it turned out that this had nothing to do with Russian aircraft at all.

During the night of November 25, a strike was carried out on the Taganrog-Yuzhny airfield and the Beriev aircraft plant in Russia. Telegram channels report that, according to preliminary information, the Russian experimental A-60 aircraft — a unique flying laboratory that serves as a carrier of laser weapons — may have been hit or destroyed. The Beriev plant in Taganrog is critically important for the Russian Federation; it is the only plant capable of modernizing strategic aviation. It is also the only plant in Russia capable of servicing A-50 airborne early warning aircraft. Thanks to the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Russia now has only 3 out of 6 A-50 aircraft left — and these are simultaneously "the ears, eyes, and the entire sensory system of their aviation".

⚡️🇺🇦🇷🇺There is now confirmation of the first attempts to blind Russian FPV drones by installing small IR spotlights on Ukrainian drones, producing a bright, directional beam aimed at the incoming drone’s camera. In one case, a Ukrainian UGV tried to blind an approaching Russian FPV drone but failed. The second example was more successful a “Baba Yaga” drone was able to confuse the operator of an anti-drone interceptor that was attempting to shoot it down. For now, this cannot be called widespread, but in the future such a blinding system may become an effective method of countering FPV drones, especially fiber-optic-guided ones, which cannot be jammed by electronic warfare at all. And, as can be seen, the system can be installed on both ground and aerial platforms. So it turns out the outdated Passive Protection Systems (PPS) like the Shtora-1 so common in the late Soviet/Russian/Ukranian like the T-90A are state of the art now.

Not many aircraft can claim a story quite like this one! Built in 1939, shot down over the Arctic Front in 1942 and left untouched for decades, Red 12 has returned to the skies to fly once again. Seeing an original wartime Bf 109 Emil in the air is something very few aviation enthusiasts ever get to witness…including us as we had to leave the airshow early to meet-up with friends in London! #bf109 #messerschmitt #warbirds #aviation #aviationphotography

✈️ “One of the most forgotten fighters of WWII never actually fought for the U.S…” The North American P-64 was originally built as an export fighter , sleek, fast for its era, and armed better than many trainers of the time. But after Pearl Harbor, the U.S. seized the aircraft before delivery. Instead of becoming a famous warbird like the Mustang, the P-64 faded into aviation obscurity. And honestly… it still looks incredible. 🔥 If you had to bring back ONE underrated WWII aircraft for an airshow today, what would it be? 👀👇 With hangar.180

I’ve seen many posts asking, where did the drones go? They are still here, other platforms are removing the videos so code words like “Dior Bags” have to be used when posting American citizen “I know I’m about to sound crazy, but here's the truth. Last night, my husband and I and my kids were followed by a drone the size of a car” Location: Clearwater US Highway 19 N, Florida “I have nothing to be able to explain or reason why. Like none.” She explains what it looks like, it’s behaving, how it ‘changed’ She did research on aircraft in the area, there was nothing Anyone else find it strange these events are still happening, the videos are being censored on social media platforms and all this happens the same time all this crazy fog hits blocking the sky

A new video from the Ministry of Defense is a clear illustration of how a simple solution can turn the tide. The “Gerbera” decoy drones—which, according to their own statements, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have stopped intercepting because they no longer view them as a threat—are now flying in for a purpose other than as decoys. The footage shows only “Gerberas” in action. And they are delivering precision strikes on the positions of Ukrainian drone operators in the rear. Four drones—and the target is destroyed. Now the “Gerbera” is not just a blip on the radar. It is a fully-fledged combat drone that the Ukrainian Armed Forces will have to take seriously...

Today, in Marrakesh, Morroco, I officially received Nigeria’s Civil Aviation Master Plan (CAMP) from the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) during the opening session of the ICAO Global Implementation Support Symposium (GISS). I was also a special guest at a Ministerial Round Table where I spoke on ‘Future of Aviation Workforce in Nigeria’, highlighting the country’s efforts to address the issue of skills gap within the aviation ecosystem The presentation of the landmark document marks a major milestone in Nigeria’s aviation sector, signaling a bold and structured pathway for the industry’s transformation over the next few decades. The Civil Aviation Master Plan is anchored on globally recognized pillars critical to building a modern, competitive, and resilient aviation sector such as infrastructure and technology development. This includes the modernization of airport infrastructure to accommodate increasing passenger and cargo traffic, alongside the deployment of advanced technologies, including unmanned aerial systems (Drones).
