Global Aviation Magazine Previews

GAM Previews: Issue 7 - May 2012 With the latest edition of Global Aviation Magazine now live, let’s take a look at what’s inside…..

On the cover – Red Flag 12-2: You won’t want to miss Paul Filmer’s report on the second Red Flag exercise of 2012 – a feature which includes a history of the project and a number of, we think, awesome air to air images of 12-2’s participants.

60 years of the mighty B-52: Kevin Jackson’s fantastic feature not only looks at the history and development of this iconic bomber, it is illustrated with a host of stunning photography, including in-cockpit shots from BUFF training flights.

TCAT – The Classic Aircraft Trust: Gareth Stringer went along to Coventry Airport to meet with Air Atlantique Ltd’s Aviation Director, Trevor Bailey, to learn more about the formation of TCAT. This new charitable trust is responsible for a unique collection of airworthy, and potentially airworthy, aircraft of great historic significance.

Just Jane’s Long Road to Flight: Elliott Marsh visited Andrew Panton to discuss the plan to return Avro Lancaster NX611, ‘Just Jane’, back to flight.

Harbour Air Seaplanes: Paul Dunn travelled to Vancouver BC, Canada, to take a look at Harbour Air Seaplanes – possibly the World’s largest seaplane operator.

A Trip Down Memory Lane: One for 'Shack' fans as Brian Dawes recalls his time working on the venerable Avro Shackleton, while it was in Royal Air Force service.

Marine Aircraft Group 11: Paul Dunn continues his look at the USMC with an examination of MAG 11’s F/A-18s and KC-130s.

As you are probably now aware, this is the first commercial edition of Global Aviation Magazine. At just £2.49 per issue, with both subscription offers and back issue bundles available, we believe this provides superb value for money with more than 100 pages of feature content and imagery which you can read at leisure on your PC or mobile device.
