Lockheed Martin LM-100J and Russia’s new Irkut MC-21 airliner made their maiden flights in late May. Both are detailed in this month’s issue – the MC-21, appears on the front cover for the first time.

AIRSCENE, our monthly news section, provides an exclusive report on the Alenia-Aermacchi M-345 trainer; roll-out of one of the world’s largest aircraft - the Stratolaunch - at Mojave, California; a shoot-out by Austrian Eurofighters in Germany; Tiger tails from this year’s NATO Tiger Meet in France; a show report from HeliRussia including the maiden flight of the Kamov Ka-62 helicopter; and the usual mix of commercial and military stories from around the world.

Lead feature this month is an overview of America’s Doomsday plane; the US Navy’s E-6B Mercury, a military derivative of the Boeing 707. Tasked with various strategic missions, the E-6B makes interesting reading.
