On Saturday 30 November all hell broke loose when, what appears to be, a tornado touched down at the Jack Taylor airfield in Krugersdorp. A narrow path of destruction could be seen starting in Krugersdorp Wes, all the way through to the airfield. Only the hangars in the south eastern side of the field were affected and the rest of the airfield shows absolutely no sign of any adverse weather. Debris from neighbouring factories also blew over the fences on to the airfield indicating the force of the wind. Although the local weather monitoring station was outside the path of the destruction, it still indicated a wind speed of 97kph.
Just a week earlier the wind blew down the Alpi Aviation signboard and it was re-erected with significant additional support to prevent this from happening again. This however had an adverse effect as this time the wind could not blow it out of the ground and simply bent the poles until the signboard was again level with the ground.

EAA AIRVENTURE OSHKOSH INCLUDED ON INITIAL U.S. AIR FORCE THUNDERBIRDS 2014 SCHEDULE
The U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds, one of the world's premier military jet teams, has scheduled an appearance at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh, “The World's Greatest Aviation Celebration,” as part of its 2014 flying schedule.
EAA AirVenture 2014, the 62nd annual EAA fly-in convention, is scheduled for July 28-August 3 at Wittman Regional Airport in Oshkosh, Wis. The Thunderbirds' initial schedule at Oshkosh includes performances at AirVenture on the event's final weekend - Saturday, August 2 and Sunday, August 3. The exact activities and schedule are still being finalized. It would mark the first time a U.S. military jet demonstration team would perform its full show in front of Oshkosh audiences. Advance AirVenture tickets are currently available online.
“We are excited about being part of the Thunderbirds' initial 2014 air show schedule, as they return to flight status in the coming year with a potential appearance at The World's Greatest Aviation Celebration in Oshkosh,” said Jim DiMatteo, EAA's vice president for AirVenture features and attractions. “There is no better public aviation event for the Thunderbirds than at Oshkosh, which has attracted an unmatched line-up of incredible aircraft and personalities over the past six decades. The Thunderbirds provide the 'wow' factor wherever they appear, but that 'wow' will never be bigger than it is at AirVenture next summer.”
EAA will now begin working with the Thunderbirds and other key entities on essential operational issues before final confirmation for an AirVenture appearance can be made.
The Thunderbirds are based at Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada but spend more than 200 days on “the road” each year, flying before millions of spectators. The team was founded in May 1953 as the 3600th Air Demonstration Unit and began by flying the F-84G Thunderjet. Through the years, the team has performed in a variety of aircraft, including the F-84G Thunderstreak, F-100C Super Sabre, F-105B Thunderchief, F-4E Phantom, and T-38 Talon. Today, the Thunderbirds fly their famous red, white and blue F-16s to showcase the pride and precision of the U.S. Air Force and represent all Air Force members who voluntarily serve America and defend freedom.

Shell has developed an unleaded Avgas that meets all key Avgas properties and that has a motor octane rating of over 100. The development of a technically and commercially-viable unleaded Avgas that meets these criteria has been seen by the aviation industry as a significant challenge, due to the tight specifications and strict flight safety standards that it has to adhere to. To get to this stage, Shell Aviation technologists carried out an intensive internal laboratory program, including in-house altitude rig and engine testing. Working alliances were then formed with aviation engine manufacturer Lycoming Engines (Lycoming) and the light aircraft manufacturer Piper Aircraft Inc. (Piper). As a result, the formulation was successfully evaluated in industry laboratory engine (bench) tests by Lycoming and in a flight test by Piper.
We believe that with industry support, a stringent approvals process can be completed for this new lead-free product within two - three years. Shell will now engage the aviation industry, regulators and authorities, including the US Federal Aviation Administration, American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) and European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) to achieve approvals for the unleaded Avgas. Shell expects to also work with other OEMs to continue the testing and refinement program as the approvals process progresses.

China is boosting its fleet of Il-76 airlifters with 10 used examples to be supplied by Rosoboronexport.
China has ordered 10 used Il-76s from Russia's arms vendor Rosoboronexport as an interim measure to enlarge its fleet of the heavy airlifters, before the redeveloped Il-476 version becomes available. Sergei Kornev, head of Rosoboronexport's aviation equipment department, told AIN that his company has already found seven suitable airframes on the secondary market. They are being overhauled before delivery to the PLA Air Force. Rosoboronexport is still sourcing the other three aircraft, which could come from non-Russian fleets.
Kornev declined to provide the exact number of Il-76s China has already received, noting only that Rosoboronexport and its Ukrainian counterpart, Ukrspetsexport, have been involved in sales of new and used Il-76s to the People's Republic. In addition, the TAPO plant in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, which was the sole Il-76 production location since the 1970s, also supplied some aircraft to China. So did semi-independent Russian entities including LII, the flight-test and research institute, which sold China a couple of Il-76 test beds outfitted with large rotating antennas mounted atop the fuselage. Presumably, these were the ones used in China's AEW radar test program.
Some years ago, China sought to buy 50 to 60 new Il-76s from Rosoboronexport, and even signed a preliminary agreement for 38 aircraft in September 2005. The deal was never executed “due to the inability of the plant in Tashkent to build that many new aircraft and fulfill the demand from China,” according to Kornev. He noted that Russia's focus is now on the Il-476, production of which is being re-launched at the Aviastar-SP plant in Ulianovsk. “One such airplane is already flying, and the customers have been following flight-test progress with interest,” he said.
Russian president Vladimir Putin recently visited Aviastar to inspect the Il-76MD-90A (the Russian air force version of the Il-476). Kornev said that the Il-476 is being offered to India, as well as China. “This version features modern avionics, better payload-range capability, and more powerful and economical PS90A76 engines. It has a large export potential. However, flight-testing could take a couple of years,” he added. Today, the Il-76 is the only heavyweight strategic airlifter type in the inventory of PLA's Air Force. China attempted, but dropped, indigenous designs of airlifters, powered by local copies of the D30K-series engines that power the Il-76 and Tu-154M.
