Aviation News Magazine December 2013 Back Issue

In this 84-page issue of ‘Aviation News incorporating Classic Aircraft’ magazine we have an article on British Airways new flagship, the Airbus A380, which recently made its long-haul debut for the airline. The feature looks at the type’s entry into service with the airline and the passenger experience on the inaugural route to Los Angeles. We have an overview of all the virtual radar options available to the enthusiast – be it receivers, phone apps or those available on the internet. We also assess Bombardier’s new family of airliners, the CSeries, after the recent first flight of the CS100. We cast an eye over the Dassault Rafale’s development, capabilities and operational career to date. Stepping back in time this month we describe Operation Creek Party which saw USAF Boeing KC-97L Stratofreighters deployed to Europe and we also tell the story of one of the RAF’s most successful night-fighter crews that flew, amongst other types, the Mosquito. We also feature an airshow star in the shape of a T-33. This month’s ‘Room with a View’ hotel is one at the heart of Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris that has excellent opportunities for aircraft photography.

There is the latest civil, military and heritage aircraft news, plus much more.
