June 2025 issue of Airliner World, incorporating Airports of the World, is a ‘From the cockpit’ special, featuring not one but three exciting tales of life behind the flight deck door. Assistant editor Robert Veitch found himself in the hot seat while flying with Air Corsica to Ajaccio on the Mediterranean island of Corsica. He enjoyed an unexpected upgrade that took his flight experience to another level. Daniel Johnston, meanwhile, takes us to South America, where he seized a rare opportunity to fly aboard a Boeing 727 of LAS Cargo for a flower-filled treat. Last but by no means least, Chris Sloan chats to Captain John Baganz, one of the lucky few Braniff pilots to touch the edge of space piloting Concorde. There are two snapshot specials: Victor Prody brings some photographic highlights from Avalon, which hosted the Australian International Airshow; and Martin Needham shares some of his favourite images from a recent trip to Tokyo/Haneda.
