June 2013 - Current Issue

In this 84-page issue of Aviation News incorporating Classic Aircraft magazine we look back over the career of the legendary Phantom in the German Air Force as this Cold War warrior nears the end of its service with the Luftwaffe. This month we take a break from the regular ‘Room with a View’ series to describe what made the Emmantina Hotel near the old Athens Hellenikon Airport so special to enthusiasts.

With the airshow season almost upon us there is the latest news on events and what interesting aircraft are attending as well as our monthly calendar of events from around the world. We also have an exclusive guide to get the best out of visiting the world’s biggest airshow – Oshkosh.

There are also articles on Virgin’s new UK domestic operation Little Red, Classic Air Force’s new base in Newquay in Cornwall, night-fighter F4U Corsairs operations in World War Two, Scandinavia’s SAS airline and Toronto’s Lester B Pearson International Airport.

As well as the latest civil, military and heritage aircraft news, plus much more…
