Due to some technical difficulties at the printers Scramble issue 342 will appear one or two days later on your doorstep. Our sincere apologies for this delay.
No Dustpan & Brush section this month and the military news/updates section is smaller than usual, but we have a large number of articles to make up for this loss.
In this month's edition we have special features about:
-AIRFIELD GUIDE - GREECE.
Due to the expected airshows in Greece we had completed our overview of Greek military airfields. The status of the airshows (will they be on or not) is still not exactly clear, but for those who are ready and willing to explore take this issue with you for all the best spots to see and/or photograph the aircraft and helicopters. Many more airfield can be found on our website.
-ARCTIC TIGER 2007.
Due to the location of this years Tiger Meet, up in the north at Orland (Norway, it was this year dubbed Arctic Tiger. At usual several aircraft receive a special paint job. This article was provided by someone outside the Scramble editorial team.
-CIAF 2007.
The annual airshow at Brno (Czech Republic) is always attracting interesting visitors. Enough reason for a special on this show.
-FROM AIRLINER TO THEATRE.
Most aircraft end up at the scrapheap after their operational career. This DC-9 survived and is still regularly hosting lots of passengers.
-ON BOARD THE USS NIMITZ.
A visit to a carrier is always impressive. This article tells one side of the story on board the USS Nimitz.
-PROCURADURIA GENERAL DE LA REPÚBLICA.
The largest article this months gives an in-depth review of this Mexican government agency.
-THE GATHERING.
All aviation enthusiasts, and especially those with an extra interest in 'Warbirds', were looking out for this show for a long time. The largest gathering of North American P-51 Mustangs for a long long time. Two of our editors went to Ohio and came home with all the numbers and stunning pictures.
-THE RETURN OF THE VULCAN.
We have all been waiting for this to happen for a long time. But Vulcan XH558 has taken to the air again. I guess we all cannot wait to see it again for the first time.
