In this section of the magazine, we give industry figures and thought leaders from all across our great sector the opportunity to talk about the topics that matter the most to them. In this edition, Adam Thorn discusses Qantas’ latest ‘crisis’, Jake Nelson asks whether we should be overanalysing tragedies so early, Stephen Kuper makes the case for an AUKUS Loyal Wingman, Robert Dougherty discusses the merits of Super Squadrons, and John Coyne questions whether our northern bases are getting enough love.

Enough armchair analysis, please
“As the rest of Air India’s 787 fleet got a clean bill of health and details of what happened in the cockpit started to emerge, the speculation began to take a less savoury direction.”
By Jake Nelson, senior journalist, Australian Aviation
The case for AUKUS strike Loyal Wingman
“A stealth UCAV matched to the B-21’s radar cross-section and range can offset this risk by acting as both an enabler and a force multiplier.”
By Stephen Kuper, senior analyst, Defence Connect
Can ‘super squadrons’ change wars?
“The new Super Squadron tests, which use as many as 31 aircraft in a squad, could be considered a possible departure from the USAF’s current Agile Combat Employment doctrine, which focuses on deploying individual squadrons of around 12 to 24 aircraft.”
By Robert Dougherty, senior journalist, Defence Connect
Northern Australia’s bases require attention
“The north must be integrated into our strategic narrative, not as a vulnerable outpost, but as a central pillar of national Defence.”
By John Coyne, director national security programs, ASPI
