FEATURING:

EXERCISE REPORT: KEEPING IT REAL
With so many commitments around the world, exercise ‘Green Flag — West’ at Nellis AFB, Nevada, is designed to provide the most realistic pre-deployment training available for US Air Force assets. Neil Dunridge went to see B-1s in action.

BIG CATS AT TAURA
In April 2008, the last Denel Cheetah fighters were retired from South African service. At the time, few could have imagined that these charismatic fighters would enjoy a second lease of life in South America. Dr Michal Stolar and Alexander Golz journey to Ecuador to see the re-birth of the Cheetah.

KINGS OF SWING
The RAF’s No 1 Squadron is living up to its name in being the first to take the swing-role Typhoon into service, as Jamie Hunter discovers.

UNIT REPORT: AVIANO ‘VIPERS’
As the US attempts to extricate itself from the Middle East and to shift its emphasis away from terrorism to ‘big-war’ scenarios, Robert F. Dorr finds the 31st Fighter Wing at Aviano AB in Italy a turning point. Exclusive images from Jim Haseltine.
