Issue #402: Paint It Black
Taking the control column
Ladies and gentlemen, this is your (new) captain speaking! It gives me great pleasure to officially welcome you to this issue of Australian Aviation from the pilot’s seat. It’s been a year since the incorrigible Adam Thorn left us, but we’ve all taken care to make sure this venerable publication keeps up its usual high standards in the interim, and I’m honoured to be taking charge as we look towards 2027 and our 50th anniversary.
I’d also like to offer my thanks to Steve Kuper, our lead for defence and aerospace, who has held down the fort admirably since Adam’s departure and is now leaving us as well to pursue new opportunities. Steve has made some great contributions to AA over the years (including in this very issue), and we wish him all the best.
