Aviation News Magazine September 2013 Zurück Ausgabe

In this 84-page issue of ‘Aviation News incorporating Classic Aircraft’ magazine there are airshow reports from the Royal International Air Tattoo, Flying Legends and RAF Waddington. We also analyse the latest airliner from Airbus – the A350 XWB. Plus, look at a classic design in the Britten Norman Islander of which over 1,200 have been built and the type is still in production from a new plant in the UK.

There is an article on the hidden aircraft at RAF Shawbury. The air base stores and disposes of a large number of aircraft for the UK’s armed forces. There are details about how to get a tour to see these hangared aircraft. Continuing the military theme is part 2 of the story of US Air Force’s aggressor squadron that was based in the UK, which covers the unit’s transition from the F-5E to F-16C. This year marks the 100th anniversary of Dutch military aviation so we cast an eye back at the Royal Netherlands Air Force through the ages.

The hotel we feature in this month’s ‘Room with a View’ is one which has stunning views overlooking the runway at Corfu’s airport. This issue also has the final part of a tour by two enthusiasts around Canada and the US in the summer of 1986 during which they saw some interesting and rare aircraft.

Not forgetting our regular sections among which is the worldwide airshow calendar of events as well as the latest civil, military and heritage aircraft news, plus much more. This month’s issue is not to be missed.
