Combat Aircraft Monthly – January issue – OUT NOW!

THIS ISSUE FEATURES:

FIRST FIGHTERS
The 1st Fighter Wing at Joint Base Langley-Eustis led from the front when it came to the F-22 Raptor, bringing this revolutionary fighter into US Air Force service in 2005. Jamie Hunter heads to Langley and discovers that demand for the wing’s services remains as high as ever

FINNISH HORNETS ON THE ROAD
During the last week of September 2016, the Finnish Air Force conducted the ‘Baana 16’ maneuvers, a road-base exercise involving aircraft operating from public highways in southern Finland. Jan Jørgensen was there to witness the action

WARFIGHTERS IN THE WILD
Exercise ‘Red Flag — Alaska’ is growing in stature. Jonathan Derden ventures into the wilds of America’s largest and most sparsely populated state — ideal for warfighter training
