Scramble 336 will be out in a couple of days

[jurgen]

Apologies for sending this e-mail a bit late, I was away for a few days.

In this month's edition we have special features about:
-AIR FORCE OVERVIEW - CYPRUS.
An air force not very often seen outside their border but nevertheless very interesting with a mix of eastern and western aircraft.

-NOTAM NOTICE TO SPOTTERS.
If you are a frequent visitor of forums like this you will regularly encounter a NOTAM (Notice To Airmen). I guess I am not the only one having a hard time understanding these abbreviations and formulas pasted into a single line. This two page article explains how to read them so you know where to go for interesting activity or not to go when an airfield is temporarily closed.

-SU-27 PRODUCTION.
One of the most impressive current fighters around and we give you an overview of all know airframes. Twelve pages with info on all Flanker operators, all the numbers and some very impressive pictures from our Russian sources.

-SIS AIR SHOW OVERVIEW.
Have you already decided which air shows to attend this season? This article will make your decision much easier as we give all the details on a couple of air shows held early in the season. Not only the invited/confirmed participants, but also an overview of the W&R situation on and around the airfield, scanner frequencies, the best spots and other spotter facilities.

-ARE YOU SURE BOSS?
An interesting tripreport about a few days of operational spotting in India before, during and after the large Indian air show at Yelahanka.

-AIRFIELD GUIDE - BALTIMORE - WASHINGTON IAP (MD)
-AIRFIELD GUIDE - WASHINGTON - DULLES IAP (VA)
-AIRFIELD GUIDE - WASHINGTON - RONALD REAGAN (DC)

-POLYARNAYA AVIATSIYA
In the early thirties a directorate was established to explore the vast northern and eastern territories of the Soviet Union. Polar Aviation was one of the assets to support this and this article reveals a lot of previously unknown details.
