It's a rare mix in this month's LOOP Show, with our intrepid trio investigating business aircraft, turbine helicopters, and an all-time icon of flight in another packed edition. DC dons his tailor's best to unearth the most interesting developments at the giant EBACE show in Geneva, European aviation's biggest event for business flyers. He looks at the new King Air 250 from Hawker Beechcraft, the compelling case made by the Nextant 400XT – a completely reworked Hawker 400 that weighs in at around half the price of a new replacement – and Dassault's new 'entry-level' Falcon, the 2000S. Elsewhere, and looking far more casual, Daggers dons his Blades editor's hat and reports on the Robinson R66 turbine, with flight test expert Jamie Chalkley as eager as anyone to fly Robinson's first turbine. Suffice to say the R66 impresses and surprises in equal measure! If new tech and shiny metal isn't your cup of tea, then faded and ageing Rich is your perfect guide to enter the unchanging world of flying classic and antique aircraft, spending a day with Tiger Moth guru Henry Labouchere at his world-renowned hub of Moth rebuilding and expertise, in Norfolk. Think a 70-year-old wood and fabric biplane is just for sedate pottering around the skies? Watch to be re-educated! Something for everyone, we reckon – and we hope you enjoy the show!
