"Japan only really knew what they were dealing with when the MiG made its surprise landing.

The Japanese suddenly found themselves with a defecting pilot – and a fighter jet that had so far evaded Western intelligence agencies. Hakodate’s airport suddenly became a hive of intelligence activity. The CIA was scarcely able to believe its luck.

On 6 September Belenko flew off with fellow pilots on a training mission. None of the MiGs were armed. He had already worked out a rough route, and his MiG had a full tank of fuel.

He broke formation, and within a few minutes he was over the waves, heading towards Japan.

To evade both Soviet and Japanese military radar, Belenko had to fly very low – about 100ft (30m) above the sea. When he was far enough into Japanese airspace, he took the MiG up to 20,000ft (6,000m) so it could be picked up by Japanese radar. The surprised Japanese tried to hail this unidentified aircraft, but Belenko’s radio was tuned to the wrong frequencies. Japanese fighters were scrambled, but by then, Belenko had dropped below the thick cloud cover again. He disappeared off the Japanese radar screens.

All this time, the Soviet pilot had been flying by guesswork, on the memory of maps he’d studied before he’d taken off. Belenko had intended to fly his aircraft to Chitose airbase, but with fuel running low, he had to land at the nearest available airport. That, as it turned out, was Hakdodate."

When pilot Viktor Belenko defected, he did so in a mysterious Soviet plane – the MiG-25. Stephen Dowling looks at its far-reaching impact.

The annual Fall 2023 NDTA (National Defense Transportation Association) conference was a buzz with conversation as attendees and exhibitors made valuable connections and strengthened relationships with key representatives from industry, military and government.

This year’s theme, “Advancing U.S. Power Projection with Allies & Partners,” considers the global strategic competition occurring in a highly contested environment and the need to provide leadership in close coordination with allies and partners to provide the logistics and transportation capability and capacity to globally support U.S. national security interests.

ProCharter is a keen supporter and member of NDTA. We see the value of having a trusted environment where Government, Military, and Private sector professionals can solve pressing challenges in the fields of logistics, transportation and aviation.

Recently a WWII era RAF (Royal Air Force) Spitfire flew out to greet a WWII era German Luftwaffe Me262 (replica) jet fighter.

The aircraft holds special significance as the first operational jet-powered fighter in aviation history and one of the most powerful aircraft to fly in the Second World War. With its swept wings, axial flow jet engines and modern cockpit, the Me262 played a fundamental role in ushering in the dawn of the jet age.

Since then, five replicas of the jet have been built from scratch using fragment drawings in a process in a multiyear restoration process, with the maiden flight of the aircraft featuring in April 2006.

"In May 2022, ProCharter, agreed to support SOS Children’s Villages Sri Lanka with sponsorship. This provided children of SOS Children’s Villages Nuwaraeliya – with nutritious meals, for one whole year.

The sponsorship provided ensured that a percentage of the total cost of meals was covered, for a total of 76 children. The children who benefitted from the sponsorship included 20 boys and 19 girls under the age of 12 years, and 5 boys and 32 girls above 12 years.

'It’s with gratitude that we hear at SOS Children’s Villages Sri Lanka, reminisce on the partnership and the generosity of ProCharter. Here’s to your generosity that would forever be fondly remembered by our children,' said a spokesman for the charity." – SOS Children’s Villages

OVERVIEW: SOS Children’s Village at Nuwara Eliya, Sri Lanka

The second SOS Children’s Village in Sri Lanka is situated on 2.5 acres of land at Bambarakelle, Nuwara Eliya (180 km from Colombo), in the central hill country of Sri Lanka. It is 6,283 feet above sea level, with the coldest climate in the country.

SOS Children’s Village Nuwara Eliya was inaugurated in April 1984. In 1983, the country faced a difficult situation, when an armed group unleashed hostility between the two main communities – Sinhalese and Tamil. SOS Children’s Villages were able to bring children of these two communities together as one family – hence it was a timely project.

At SOS Children’s Village Nuwara Eliya a total of ten families, six Sinhala and four Tamil were established. We were able to build a strong and united SOS Family, while the same two communities unleashed war in the country.

Throughout the long years of the Sri Lanka civil war that the country was unfortunate to go through, SOS Family Nuwara Eliya, was setting an example as to how the two communities could live as one with understanding and peace.

Five mothers who were the first group of mothers are now retired from active service as SOS Mothers and are living in the Mothers’ Retirement Home. SOS Kindergarten, SOS Youth Facilities for Boys and Girls, FSP Programmes and Mothers’ Retirement Home are the other ancillary projects in Nuwara Eliya.

Over the past 24 hours, several news outlets reported a now-retracted story claiming that the US Air Force had run a simulation in which an AI-controlled drone "went rogue" and "killed the operator because that person was keeping it from accomplishing its objective." The US Air Force has denied that any simulation ever took place, and the original source of the story says he "misspoke."

"We've never run that experiment," says original source, who "misspoke."

Airlines retire hundreds of planes every year. Sometimes it’s due to a drop in travel demand and other times it’s so they can be replaced with new, more fuel efficient aircraft. At a certain point, they are too old and costly to maintain.

So, what happens to an airplane when it’s retired? Many are sent out to the Arizona desert where, after their last flight, they are stripped for parts that are worth millions of dollars – everything from the engines to the landing gear, critical sensors, oxygen masks – even the pilot seats. Some of those parts are refurbished and reused. Some wind up being used to train new generations of pilots. What’s left often ends up crushed for scrap metal that is recycled or upcycled – some of it is turned into high-end furniture or even keychains.

It’s a fascinating process to see up close and personal.

Heartbreaking news from Turkey on the border of Syria. The inability to fully help those in Syria just makes a bad situation worse.

The tremor was reported near Turkey's border with Syria, weeks after another quake killed thousands.

The world's longest train route spans more than 8,000 miles, crosses through eight countries, and is long enough to stretch from Florida to Washington state 3 times.

While the new train service is nearly 10 days faster than the traditional sea route, the cost is also 20% to 30% higher. Another drawback of the marathon route stems from the variety of climates the cargo undergoes while in transit. The harsh Russian winters of minus-22 degrees Fahrenheit cause serious problems for commodities like Spanish wine and jamón, increasingly popular products among China's middle class.

But why ride the train when you can fly? 😎
