Hi all,
The April 2010 issue of Scramble has been released this week!
In this month's edition, we have special features about:
- Fokker 50 farewell
The 28th of March 2010 has been a sad day for turboprop aircraft lovers in The Netherlands now KLM cityhopper has stopped operations with its last turboprop aircraft, the Fokker 50. We have a brief history on its service within KLM Cityhopper and an overview of all Fokker 50's used by KLM.
- 527th TFTAS Agressors
The 70's saw the need of new tactical training because of big losses of US fighter-aircraft and its crew in the Vietnam war. One of the most remarkable decisions was the development of dedicated air-to-air training units. One of these units was the 527th TFTAS based at RAF Alconbury. Until 1988, the squadron used Northrop F-5Es and all 24 are sorted out in this month's issue.
- Puerto Rico
A trip was made to Puerto Rico where all active airfields and some wrecks and relics were visited. For those who have plans to visit this Caribbean island, we have made airfield guides of the three main airfields and an overview of all known preserved aircraft and helicopters that can be found here.
