How about the concept of missiles replacing guns on fighters? Maybe touch on "missile trucks" like the F6D Missileer, 747 CMCA, etc?

One of the best things about Hush-Kit is getting aircrew to say how it feels to fly and fight combat aircraft - going beyond the technicalities. How about doing this for WW1 fighters, using people flying replicas and restorations?

How about a section on the Victor helicopter pilots in Northern Ireland in the 1980’s. Having done two tours, the second in South Armagh, I have nothing but admiration for this small band of aviators

How about how the 60s and 70s aircraft had the best paint schemes? Especially US navy. So much better than shades of grey.

How about COIN aircraft - purpose built (like the OV-10 and Super Tucano) and adapted ones like the AU-23 or the A-1 Skyraiders in US, French and african service?

The rise and fall of variable geometry.

Building on variable geometry inverted geometry such as the X-29 & SU-47, or something on concept planes in general, the strange idea that never made it past an airshow.

I would love to see additional information about Iranian sUAS and warplane integration, Chinese rotary wing in an air to air role, especially paired with air launched effects and sUAS, and anything on sUAS in the Ukrainian conflict.
