Formålet med bloggen er å bidra til informasjon om luftfart av alle slag. Også litt om ubåter og forsvarsspørsmål. Nyheter vil du finne her også, en del på engelsk som er det mest brukte luftfartsspråket. Har du selv noe som bør komme ut, så send meg en mail til per.gram@hesbynett.no - Politikk på alle nivåer over hele verden er i kaos. Voldsomme endringer kan finne sted på kort tid, som også kan få innvirkning på forsvarsdisposisjoner. Det må kommenteres.

BALTIC SEA — These
northerly waters recently served to show Navy sailors how to spot and destroy
deadly surface drones, whose devastating consequences for ships have been
demonstrated from the Middle East to Crimea.
The lessons were on
display earlier this month during BALTOPS, an annual NATO maritime exercise in
the Baltic. Stars and Stripes observed U.S. and U.K. sailors training in rainy,
rough conditions.

Russian Tu-160 strategic bombers were intercepted by NATO F-35 fighter jets during a 16-hour mission over the Barents and Norwegian Seas.
Programmet under viste seg å være veldig bra, og samarbeidet med flystasjonen virket veldig godt. Nå var Security adskillig strengere enn da jeg sist var her, også da med Jan Erik Larsen. En spionsak som ble avdekket nylig bidro til det. I en del av Skvadronbygget var det eksempelvis ikke lov å ha med smartklokke eller mobiltelefon. Uansett, i denne delen av bygget dro jeg kjensel på noen bilder jeg selv hadde tatt. Ja, jeg hadde tillatelse til å ha med og bruke eget kamera på operative oppdrag noe som var godkjent av fotoavdelingen og velsignet av LE.
Som noen kanskje husker foredro undertegnede under 296 ved det forrige besøket den 30.6.23 da avdelingen fløy sitt iste operative oppdrag. Det var rett og slett hyggelig å se flyet igjen, en flytype alle elsker, bortsett fra noen østafor. Nå arbeides det hardt for at flyet skal bli på Øya, kanskje i et tilbygg til Norlandiahallen like i nærheten. Bodøflytting blir for dyrt. Halen til 602 er også tatt vare på fikk jeg høre. Flyet er forøvrig hogget opp.

orders 18 Airbus A330neo to accelerate growth and fleet modernisation
Copenhagen, 30 June 2026 - Scandinavian carrier SAS has placed a firm order
with Airbus for 18 A330-900 aircraft as part of its ongoing fleet renewal
strategy. The agreement was signed during a ceremony in Copenhagen by Anko van der Werff, SAS CEO and Benoît de Saint-Exupéry, Airbus EVP Sales of the
Commercial Aircraft business.
The aircraft will support SAS’ ongoing international network expansion, allowing the airline to increase existing high capacity routes globally and introduce new routes.
“On behalf of SAS, I am delighted to announce this order for the Airbus A330-900. Combining outstanding economics with improved environmental performance, the aircraft will play a key role in our long-term fleet strategy. It will allow us to deliver an exceptional customer experience, expand our network, and offer greater flexibility and convenience for our passengers. We look forward to continuing our strong partnership with Airbus well into the future”, said Anko van der Werff.
“We are immensely proud to see SAS reaffirm its
trust in Airbus to drive its fleet modernisation. The A330-900 is the
undisputed benchmark for efficiency and versatility in its category. By
integrating these 18 A330neo, SAS will benefit from unbeatable seat-mile
economics and seamless operational synergies with its existing Airbus
fleet," said Benoît de Saint-Exupéry.
Powered by the latest generation Rolls-Royce Trent 7000 engines, the A330neo is designed to fly up to 8,100 nautical miles / 15,000 kilometers non-stop and reduces fuel burn, CO2 emissions and operating cost by 25% compared to previous generation competitor aircraft. The A330neo unique Airspace cabin offers passengers and crews the latest modern
in-flight products for a comfortable flying experience.
As with all Airbus aircraft, the A330 family is already able to operate with up to 50% SustainableAviation Fuel (SAF), with a target to reach 100% SAF capability by 2030.
At the end of May 2026, the A330 Family had won over 1,950 orders from 133
customers worldwide.
