Pilot | December 2024
December 2024 issue of Pilot magazine features a newly restored Mk IX Spitfire as its cover star. Stefan Löfgren took to the Norwegian skies with former SAS pilot colleague and one of Europe’s most experienced warbird pilots, Rolf Meum, to fly the impressive two-seater aircraft.
In Flight Test, it’s back to the future in the weird and wonderful VariEze. The quirky but high-performing and efficient design that brought composite structures to homebuilt aircraft still looks sensational today, almost half a century after it first appeared. Plus, extensive tips and strategies are discussed in a feature devoted to engine failures after take-off (EFATO).
