Belgium Ordered the wrong special forces STOL aircraft: C408 instead of Do228 NXT

The Belgian Air Force ordered the American Cessna C408 Skycourier which I think is a mistake:

Instead they should buy the German Do228NXT.
See the link in thumbnail.

This is a rant about the clueless people choosing and ordering Defense aircraft in Belgium.

Landing in Lukla Airport aka Tenzing-Hillary Aiport Nepal

Video of the landing into Lukla where I started my Everest base camp trek from. Fun flight and landing into one of the most dangerous landing strips from my understanding. This was back in spring of 2022.

This F16 testbed with an F35 intake

An F16 was once equipped with a DSI to help test the F35 intake. I personally think this is the best-looking f16.

Been working on this for a while and finally released it. YFoil Aero runs entirely in your browser — open the link, start analyzing. No installation, no backend, completely free.

The entire thing — physics engine, panel solver, LLT, and the full NACA polar database — lives in a single HTML file. That was a deliberate choice: zero friction for the end user.

Under the hood: Nonlinear LLT (30 Fourier modes), Hess-Smith panel solver with Head boundary layer, real NACA polar data from Abbott & von Doenhoff (1959), wave drag, ground effect, static margin, XFOIL polar import.

Not trying to replace XFOIL or OpenVSP. Just wanted something fast and accessible for students doing early-stage design or trying to understand wing aerodynamics without a 2-hour setup. Accuracy limits are fully documented.

Happy to discuss the physics or compare results if anyone's interested.
