Did you know? The first magazine
Did you know there’s a place where historically EUROAVIAns got updates of what was going on inside the association? The magazine has been around for years, delivering information to all our members around Europe.

A brief deny of Moon conspiracies

Then, I will use this time…

The idea of aviation touched on deep-seated concerns and emotions in the early…
A gun with a plane
If you ask any US veteran how angels sound like, the answer would look more like a BRTTTT!!! than any Tik-Tok trending music. And that’s what you get when you put wings around a car-like sized gatling cannon. That’s what Fairchild Republic had in mind when the A-10 Thunderbolt II (Warthog for the friends) was…
