Scramble Magazine 426 - November 2014 Retour à l'édition précédente

This month's edition features specials about:

- Bigway Teuge
From 20 to 23 September 2014, the Nationaal Paracentrum
Teuge (NPCT) organized a “Bigway” event, held at its home
base Teuge Airport. The goal of the event was to set the Dutch
record for skydive free-fall formation higher. The previous
record was set in 1999 over Texel, with 72 skydivers. For this
year’s event, the goal was a mass jump of at least 84 skydivers
who would make a red-white-blue formation in the form of a
Dutch syrup waffle. In case they succeeded, a second record
of one hundred skydivers formating into a windmill figure
was planned.

- The 1934 London-Melbourne Race
In October 2014 it is 80 years ago that The MacRobertson
Trophy Air Race (also known as the London to Melbourne Air
Race) took place. Time to go back in history and relive the
thrill of the event in which daring pilots would exceed the
boundaries of contemporary aviation.
