CANADA 2002

In 2002, I had the opportunity to travel abroad for the first time on business – to Canada. At that time, I was a Flight Safety Inspector and was responsible for investigating the causes of air accidents at the 32nd Tactical Air Force Base in Náměšť in an effort to minimize their chances of happening in the first place. This was an opportunity to see how they do it elsewhere.

Mr. Hobby Paints (GSI Creos)
In the last issue of Info Eduard, we took a detailed look at a new product on the market - Mr. Color GGX paints from GSI Creos/Mr. Hobby, which offer exceptional coverage with a significantly lower odor than we’re used to with lacquer paints. However, to fully harness the potential of this new generation of lacquers, it’s important to understand where they fit within the Japanese manufacturer’s extensive product lineup. In today’s article, we’ll therefore focus on the key differences between individual Mr. Hobby products and their compatibility.

Republic of Singapore Air Force
The Republic of Singapore is an equatorial island nation in Southeast Asia that is in many ways a regional technological pioneer. Since gaining independence in 1965, it has been purposefully building its armed forces, with the air force being established in 1968 under the name Singapore Air Defense Command. The force received its current name in 1975 and is now a strong regional player with advanced capabilities and modern weapons.

The Air War in Ukraine - The First Confirmed Kill credited to a F-16
In today’s episode of this sad series, we will look at the period from July 1 to July 31. During this period, Ukraine launched several new campaigns targeting Russian ships in the Sea of Azov and the logistics warehouses of Russia’s largest online retailer, Wildberries. At the same time, however, Ukraine also made several incomprehensible mistakes that led to unnecessary losses. In the fifth year of the war, such carelessness should not be happening.
