FEATURING:


NIGHTHAWK
The F-117 Nighthawk was retired 10 years ago. As
Combat Aircraft marks 75 years of the Lockheed
‘Skunk Works’, Paul Crickmore refl ects on the
Nighthawk’s history and evaluates why a few
continue to fl y in secrecy.

THE LAST TOMCATS
For the US Navy, the F-14 Tomcat is but a fond
memory, but these big cats still soldier on in
Iran. In the fi rst of a series of Tomcat features,
Babak Taghvaee examines the F-14As of the
Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force.

SHARPENING THE ‘B-ONE’
Despite a plan to retire the B-1B Lancer earlier
than anticipated, the US Air Force is continuing
with several initiatives to keep the bomber
relevant. Following on from our coverage of
Lancer deep maintenance last month, Jake
Melampy looks at the testers who are keeping
the B-1 at the top of its game.

DESERT RESEARCHERS
NASA’s largest fl ight research center is located
at one of the most famous test sites in the
world. Frank Visser reports from Edwards Air
Force Base, including an interview with NASA’s
chief test pilot Nils Larson.
