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.

On Saturday 17 January, fourteen teams battled it out for the coveted Dutch Spotters Championships (or Nationale Spotters Kampioenschappen, NSK) trophy. In four rounds, very varied questions about civilian and military aviation were shown and the team with the most points went home with the prize. You can see on this page who claimed first spot, and will have the honour of organising the next event Scramble Aviation Day.

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.
