There are downloads also available from the Naval Safety Center (i.e. Approach and Mech magazine), but issues prior to 2007 are not listed on the website. I emailed the PAO to see if they are available on request. One never knows unless one asks....

Which one was it that had the Grandpa Pettibone safety articles? I used to really love reading those.

I was going to say. The only magazine I have seen since I have been in is Mech Magazine. We put it on the required reading boards every month. I didn't know anyone would be so interested in them otherwise I would of pointed you all in the direction of the Naval Safety Center.. I read them cover to cover every month. Every now and again there is a good article. Definately serves as a good training tool for the new Airmen of what can happen when you get complacent.

Some great stuff in those old issues, like this flak damage from Jan '66:

Very cool! I am having Cmdr. Paul Galanti as a speaker at my fundraiser for our aviation gallery next week. I am looking very forward to meeting this man.
