    Embraer looks to challenge the C-130's dominance in the tactical transport market

    The global market for military airlift has long been dominated by just a few options. Lockheed Martin’s C-130 has been a mainstay for decades, now representing 20% of the military cargo fleet worldwide. Airbus captures around 10% of the market with its C295 and A400 together, while Boeing’s larger C-17 represents 6% of the active global inventory. Leonardo’s C-27J doesn’t even make the top 10 list by market share, falling below China’s Y-8 and out-of-production designs from former Soviet manufacturer Antonov. But recently a new contender has been scoring win after win in competitions for new military airlifters. After launching operations in 2009, orders for Brazilian manufacturer Embraer's C-390 have started pouring in from around the world, now with 12 customers spread across Europe, Asia, Latin America and, most recently, the Middle East. FlightGlobal's defence team discusses Embraer's strategy in developing the C-390, with choices like opting for a jet-powered design over a turboprop.

    The US Air Force has graduated its last class of new A-10 pilots

    After years of noise about wanting to retire the famous Fairchild Republic A-10 ground attack fighter, the US Air Force now says it has graduated the last class of new pilots assigned to fly the "Warthog". But just weeks later, the Pentagon announced that the A-10's. retirement is being pushed back to at least 2030. It's just the latest example of the titanium-enclosed jet beating the odds on bureaucratic survival. Has the end really come for the Warthog or can the plane famous for its battlefield survivability once again stave off the end from Washington? Americas defence reporter Ryan Finnerty speaks with the commander of the 357th Fighter Squadron that trains new A-10 pilots and retired air force Colonel Kim "KC" Campbell, whose combat service in the Warthog over Iraq has made her arguably the most famous A-10 pilot.
