The January 2018 issue of Combat Aircraft is ready to launch into a new year and what an issue it is. Our feature story is all about the 75th anniversary of the 4th Fighter Wing and its F-15Es at Seymour Johnson AFB. With exclusive images of its specially-painted Strike Eagle, this is one not to be missed.

We also meet the ‘Wake Island Avengers’ of VMFA-211 at MCAS Yuma with an exclusive interview with commanding officer Lt Col Chad Vaughn.

This issue also looks at the service entry of the Chinese J-20, plus an exclusive feature on LC-130H operations into the Arctic. Plus we look at the new Mi-28s for the Russian Air Force, exercise ‘Blue Flag’ in Israel, part 2 of our T-45 Goshawk training feature from NAS Meridian and a new Flashback feature remembering the units and types from recent years that are gone but not forgotten. This month it’s the EA-7L Corsairs from the appropriately-named ‘Flashbacks’.
