Welcome to the 42nd edition of The Aviation Magazine. Time certainly flies and the
2016 air show season started off with a bang in North America, and we were there to cover it.
The 2016 air show season schedule has been on our sites now for a number of months, click here to
view it, this covers events worldwide. In this issue we are featuring NAF El Centro, CA, the first show
for the Blue Angels, and Thunder & Lightning Over Arizona from Davis‐Monthan AFB, the first show
for the Thunderbirds for the 2016 air show season. Additionally, we covered the Los Angeles County
Air Show that was a delight for warbird enthusiasts as illustrated in the image below. We also have
several air base visits in the USA, Germany and Switzerland as well as the Red Bull Air Racing from Abu
Dhabi, UAE, too, to give our readers a great variety of events to feast their eyes on.
We look forward to bringing you many more air shows in 2016 with a lot of enthusiasm, and to bring‐
ing you the “Best for Free” ® e‐based aviation magazine as we take you to aviation events “As close
as you can get without being at an air show!” ® Tell all your friends to like us on Facebook, follow us
