Editorial
Welcome to the first issue of volume 40! For 40 years we
have been publishing your favourite monthly magazine. It
started forty years ago as a simple black-and-white collection
of stencilled A4s, held together with a staple. Today Scramble
is still made by volunteers, but the proces and software we
use for editing and compiling the magazine are almost of
professional level. And not only on paper Scramble publishes
its information. We are also active on today’s main sources of
information as internet and social media. So we are ready and
fully motivated for another 40 years.
This month we can present you with 104 pages full of our
trusted information. We have one article titled “USCG Honor,
Respect, Devotion to Duty” with an insight in the United
States Coast Guards, written by Coert van Breda.
Besides this article, this copy of Scramble again has the War-
birds section. All other sections are present as usual.
The sales of our EMOOS and latest editiosn of the SWAF and
SMS Europe are going fast so be quick to order your copy,
before they are sold out. Please note, dispatch time can take
up to three weeks after receiving your order. We will do our
utmost to get them out as soon as possible after you placed
your order!
On the vacancy side we are looking for an editor for the SIS
section and for our website we are still looking for someone
who can regurarly update the showdates section.
June means the start of the summer season. With the weather
improving and the days becoming longer, most of us are
making or executing their plans. We already see the result in
our mailboxes, more logs and pictures are coming in, thank
you!! Next months, you will see the result of all your trips and
air show visits as we look forward to publish your pictures
and combine all your reports to an extensive show report or
detailed trip report.
