NORAD jets intercept Russian military aircraft in the Alaska Air Defense Identification Zone on July 24, 2024.
This happened 8 1/2 months ago if my arithmetic still works. So what’s the big deal? Did I miss something here or is this just a defence release?
Slow news day. Next we’ll be hearing about the demise of Harley Davidson and Nissan. Again…
Poorly written piece. It refers to both the old incident and “last week” without differentiating.
I’m afraid Avweb is about to go the way of IFR and Aviation Safety and probably all the other former Belvoir magazines. Maybe I was the only remaining paper subscriber. The sudden termination of my subscriptions suggest financial trouble and Avweb might be the next on the chopping block.
Wow - If there were 2 incidences then this truly is a poorly written article and needs to be revised immediately.
Hope you are wrong. Eliminating print editions doesn’t mean a publisher is going under. Online/email versions are very popular nowadays and are much less expensive to produce and contain much more current content. The key is having adequate advertising revenue - especially if the electronic edition is free.
Well, there were at least two of us paper subscribers to Aviation Safety. I’ve feared for all the excellent Belvoir publications and AvWeb since Flying Media Group added them to their acquisitions of all other general aviation publications.
But paper editions can easily be read sitting in airport waiting for colleagues or pax or wx, the maintenance and safety mags are educational.
SOP, NORAD fighters routinely get near North American airspace, often over the Beaufort Sea.
Communist Chinese aircraft will be probing defences off of the Aleutians.
(The Aleutian island chain goes way out toward Russia, the western most islands are Russian territory.)
Good practice for pilots sitting alert.
Sentiment echoed.
