Combat Aircraft Journal  |   June 2019
The June issue of Combat Aircraft leads with our cover story - a behind-the-scenes showcase of VFA-136 ‘Knighthawks’ - an F/A-18E squadron based at NAS Lemoore. In an exclusive interview with its commanding officer, we learn about how this unit is ‘on the hook’ to deploy at any given time and include exclusive aerial imagery. We also take you inside VX-31 ‘Dust Devils’ at China Lake for a rare insight into the test mission here, look at USAF maintainer shortages in our regular Ops Desk column, catch up with RAF Typhoons flying low level in California, how the Qatar Emirir Air Force is engaged in a dramatic expansion project, missile-firing ‘Flankers’ in Russia, and we evaluate the prospects for new F-15EXs for the USAF. All this plus lots more in another packed issue.
