The FAA issued an Airworthiness Certificate to the CAF requiring a minimum essential crew of four members, but the CAF’s safety measures require at least six authorized crew members, with a possible seventh during the test-flight phase where a second flight engineer would serve as a second set of eyes. ...

the "quatorze juillet" celebrations - Dutch Aviation Society/Scramble
Every year, the storming of the Bastille prison in 1789 is celebrated on 14 Juli; the "quatorze juillet" celebrations all over France with
festivities and fireworks all over the country.
But the festivities in Paris always start with a military parade over the Champs-Élysées avenue, in front of the French President. And of course, this parade includes flying assests from all military forces in France.
This year, one of our editors was in the lucky circumstance to attend the rehearsals on Châteaudun last week. But as the next issue of Scramble Magazine will be published too late to be of use to anybody attending this years celebrations, we have decided to put the report online!!
So when you want to know all ins and outs of the flying display at quatorze juillet 2010, please go to http://www.scramble.nl/mag/gfx/14July2010.pdf
Kind regards, -- Hans Hoogers-Dutch Aviation Society/Scramble

That gleam of silver over her heart and her grand smile say it all: She had achieved her dream. She could fly. ...
