January 2026

Happy New Year from all the editors of your favourite aviation magazine! Let it be a prosperous, happy, healthy and aviation-filled 2026.

After some well deserved time off over the holiday season we are back with lots of aviation related news. No articles this month, but we have bumper sections for your reading pleasure.

More relevant for our Dutch readers, but perhaps if you are in the country, is the Dutch Spotters Championships (or Nationale Spotters Kampioenschappen, NSK). This time it will be held on 17 January, where fourteen teams will battle it out for the coveted trophy. In four rounds, very varied questions about civilian and military aviation will be passed and the team with the most points will take home the prize. This is a nice event where you test your own knowledge, cheer on your own team or just have a nice chat with your fellow hobbyists. For more information see Scramble Aviation Day. If you want to attend the event visit this page Scramble Aviation Day Event, and this is also where you can find directions to the location.

Seen regularly in the Movements Belgium early last year but not on photo so far in one of our sections: Boeing 767-333ERBDSF 4L-GIT, that started its career with nearly 25 years at Air Canada. The reason is likely its lack of colours with Georgian Airlines but this nice compostion compensates for that. Massimo Filippini took the photo from the spotting place at Bergamo-Orio al Serio on 28 December 2025.
