In this issue, the editors of the “Raids Aviation” bimonthly magazine take a look at the most prestigious air shows in France and the rest of Europe.

For this last issue of 2023 and first of 2024 (with a Rafale on the cover), the “Raids Aviation” team features the air shows that take place all over Europe every year. The team devotes a special report to these major events, featuring the Zigairmeet (Switzerland), Air Tattoo, Duxford (UK) and Air Legend (France, Melun-Villaroche airfield) air shows, all of which are must-sees for enthusiasts! Still on the subject of events, the editorial team takes stock of the 50th anniversary of the Ferté-Alais air show, another date not to be missed by French fans!

Also featured in this issue is the withdrawal of the French Air Force’s last Boeing KC-135FR tanker, which was stationed at Air Base 125 in Istres. The aircraft came into service in the 1960s and was inextricably linked with the Mirage IV.

On the anniversary front, the editorial team celebrates the 100th anniversary of the Aeronautica Militare italiana, the Italian Air Force. Not to mention the magazine’s French and international news. Enjoy the read!
