Editorial
This month we start with a photo correction. The amazing
pictures we received from Jurgen van Toor on the inside back
cover of issue 466 were not taken at Don Muang but at Kam-
phaeng Saen!
Absent this month is the Triptease, but to make up for that
we have an article on the annual Heli-Expo, which was held
at Las Vegas (NV) from 27 February till 1 March 2018. Due to
this the number of pages is a bit less than normal, only 96.
The last few months we have been telling you about our
increased presence at our social media Facebook and Twitter.
To try and stay as up-to-date as possible, and not put more
workload on our already busy editors, we are looking for a
dedicated social media editor. In addition we are looking for
someone with an affinity for the USAF, to keep our online
Orders of Battle current. We would love to hear from you, for
both positions, at [email protected].
As we announced last month, you can now order the SWAF
and SMS Europe! Sales are already going fast so be quick to
order your copy, before they are sold out. The EMOOS will be
available for the DSC on 21 April (Dutch Spotters Convention,
see advert on page 53), and we will announce this once ready
for order on our social media channels. Visit our shop page at
http://www.scramble.nl/shop for more information!
We are getting questions about a new version of the SMS
North America, and we intend to publish this on a two-yearly
basis. So the next edition should be out in the summer of
- In addition we also get questions from customers if we
received payment and when they can expect their purchase.
As mentioned on the shop page 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!
