Happy New Year!

Prompt: New Year - 600 words

Layla wasn’t a fan of British winter, so it was tradition for them to travel elsewhere at the end of the year.

It was the first time Steven was part of this little tradition of theirs, and also the first time they had decided to travel together and sleep on the same bed since Marc’s botched attempt at a divorce he didn’t really want.

There was some comfort for both of them in the fact that they hadn’t skipped a single New Year since they had first met, and this year wouldn’t be an exception, despite everything that happened in it.

They were sitting at a table in a tiny brazilian private beach, watching the fireworks as they started in the continent from the small island.

“I guess that means it’s midnight.” Steven remarked with a grin.

Layla chuckled. “That’s a safe assumption.” she glanced at Marc’s watch that Steven had taken off.

“My m... I mean, we’d eat pomegranates when we were children, and put seven seeds in our wallet.” Steven told her as he broke one of the fruits in half and offered the other half to her. “And grapes.”

“Marc likes jumping in the ocean when it’s midnight.” Layla told him, and Steven perked up, still eating the pomegranate and setting the seeds on a napkin.

“Oh, yeah! Do you want to, Marc?” he asked, but he felt like Marc was tired and not quite responsive. He licked his lips. “Sounds like a great idea.” he told Layla instead, a little worried she’d be bothered that Marc wasn’t there.

“Come on, then.” she was wearing a white summer dress, and Steven was in white trousers and a white short sleeved dress shirt, bought brand new for the new year. They’d gotten rid of their shoes some time when Marc and Layla were walking together on the sand earlier.

Layla pulled him by his hand and he skipped after her towards the sea. “In full clothing?” Steven chuckled.

“It’s more fun.” she grinned and pulled him in.

The water was warm, and he jumped the wave as it came. Layla jumped with him, then the next, and the next until they had jumped all the seven waves. Then Steven fell into the water and pulled Layla into his arms, so they were both chest deep into the water. Layla laughed.

“Happy new year!” Steven told her with a grin.

“Happy new year.” she grinned, and pushed his shoulders lightly. He closed his eyes and mouth and laid into the water so he’d be fully under it for a second, then resurfaced and shook his hair. Layla cried out as the water splashed her.

“Don’t get it on my hair.” she laughed.

“Too late, love. Come on.” he splashed the water on her face with his hand. Layla exclaimed, then jumped on him, and this time both of them sank under the water before sitting back up on the sand and sharing grins.

“You’ll have to wash my hair now.” she said playfully as she tried to drain some of the salt water from it.

“It’ll be my pleasure.” he murmured, and she was surprised by his tone for a moment, but then she giggled.

“After the fireworks, or do you want to do it now?” she teased. Steven studied her for a long moment, then he dunked his head under the water a last time and shook his hair before getting up and offering his hand to her.

“Can’t let the salt damage your hair.” he told her with fake innocence. Layla grinned and grabbed his hand, letting Steven pull her up.

“No, that wouldn’t be good, would it?” she smirked.

They hurried back into the small rented cottage, holding hands and laughing as they ran.

IMAGES: Embraer advances in the production of the first KC-390 Millennium for Hungary 🇭🇺

Deliveries are scheduled to start in 2024.

Hungary is the second international customer of the KC-390 program.

Embraer continues to advance in the production of the first KC-390 Millennium aircraft for the Hungarian Defense Forces.

In November 2020, the Hungarian government signed a contract with Embraer to acquire two KC-390 aircraft in the process of strengthening the capacities of the Hungarian Defense Forces. Currently, Embraer is in the process of assembling the semi-axles in the fuselage of the aircraft, with both structures already painted in the customer's colors.

“We regularly monitor the assembly of our first KC-390, and the production of the aircraft is significantly ahead of what is stipulated in the contract, compared to the original plans, progressing better than planned,” said Colonel László Nagy, Head of Systems Development of the Air Force, Planning Board of the Command of the Hungarian Defense Forces. "We have also established a good relationship with the Brazilian Air Force, which offers us an opportunity for consultations that can be used extremely effectively by our teams in Hungary."

In-flight tests of the first aircraft will begin in the second half of 2023, with delivery taking place in the second quarter of 2024. The second unit of the KC-390 aircraft to Hungary, whose start of production is scheduled for December 2022, thus maintaining the original schedule, is expected to be delivered by the end of 2024.

The KC-390 of the Hungarian Defense Forces will be the first in the world with an Intensive Care Unit in its configuration, an essential resource for the performance of humanitarian missions. The KC-390 is fully compatible with NATO operations, not only in terms of hardware, but also in its avionic and communications configuration. In addition, the KC-390 refueling system, with a probe and basket, allows the aircraft to refuel the Hungarian JAS 39 Gripen, as well as other aircraft that use the same technology.

The aircraft also fully meets the requirements of the Hungarian Defense Forces, being able to perform different types of civil and military missions, including aeromedical evacuation, cargo and troop transportation, precision cargo delivery, paratrooper operations and air refueling.

In June 2022, Embraer and Aeroplex signed a memorandum of understanding to cooperate on a project to qualify Aeroplex as an Embraer Authorized Service Center (EASC) in Hungary. The goal is to support and allow Aeroplex to provide maintenance for the KC-390 Millennium aircraft of the Hungarian Defense Forces.
