De Havilland has launched a new Dash 8 derivative, the Dash 8-200. The 200 essentially is a high speed version of the standard 100 (pictured), but features a de-rated Pratt & Whitney PW123 similar to those of the Series 300. The new series 200 will crwse at 300kt (556kmh), making it faster than the Saab 340, but slower than the Dornier 328.

To Russia W Ith Love:
A scene which not so long ago would have struck terror into the hearts of millions took place in March this year when a USAF Boeing B-52G bomber (accompanied by a KC-10 tanker) flew to Russia. The intention was not to turn the Cold War into a hot one but to spread goodwill as part of the US-CIS military to military programme. The aircraft spent five days at the Dyagilevo air base near Ryazan, Russia. Dyagilevo is used for training Tu-95 Bear bomber crews. In return, three CIS Bears and a Tu-160 Blackjack have been invitedto visitthe USA this month and two way visits by fighter aircraft are planned
