Scramble Magazine 411 - August 2013 Retour à l'édition précédente

This month's edition features specials about:

- 80 years Centre d’Expériences Aériennes Militaires
The French CEAM (Centre d’Expériences Aériennes
Militaires) is responsible for the preparation of new armament, communication and flight information systems before they are introduced into active service within the Armée de l’Air (French Air Force).
It celebrated its 80th anniversary at Mont-de-Marsan air base on Monday 3 June 2013.

- Fantasy of Flight
Without doubt, Kermit Weeks is steadily becoming a legend in his own right. As an avid aviation enthusiast, he started building and collecting his own aircraft in the early seventies.
Funded by seemingly limitless, inherited oil and gas royalties, he expanded his collection over the past decades into one of the largest private aircraft collections in the world.

- German F-4F Phantoms
Small dots, lots of smoke. Thick trails with small black dots like arrows in the skies, a scene that is familiar to people that have seen the McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II fly. A scene that is getting harder and harder to witness now that another European user of the Phantom has said goodbye
to its ‘Spooks’.
