Due to the worldwide infection of the coronavirus Covid-19, aviation events have been significantly reduced or canceled one after another, but now that it’s starting to (hopefully) ebb, aviation events are finally beginning to resume, mainly in the United States and United Kingdom. This issue’s special feature focuses on events held in Slovakia and Malta, as well as the U.S. Navy’s Blue Angels acrobatics team Blue Angels’ three mainland air shows, as well as the 60th anniversary air show of the the Italian Air Force’s acrobatics team, Frecce Tricolori. In Japan, the fever and desire of aviation fans have been rising for about two years since the SDF’s air festival was canceled.

Another focus is on Yoshihide Muroya, who became the world champion at the Red Bull Air Race in 2017. An abundance of new air racing world championships will begin in May of next year, and the new team structure at Lexus will also be covered.

Other notable articles include an exhibition flight at the Blue Impulse Shonai Airport Memorial Event, an event commemorating the 60th anniversary of the establishment of the Japan Air Self-Defense Air Group, the arrival of the Air Self-Defense Force’s new aerial refueling and transport aircraft KC-46 in Japan, and its adoption by the Maritime Security Agency. Also covered are unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, ANA’s super-large passenger aircraft Airbus 380 Flying Honu No. 3 arriving in Japan, China Zhuzai Airlines Show topics, serialization, aviators who visited Japan during the big flight era, and much more!
