The Echo has always striven to give its readers unparalleled insights and captivating narratives. Our heart lies with aviation preservation – we’re interested in old aeroplanes and the people who restore, maintain, own and fly them. It’s a core philosophy that resonates throughout our work.
Volume I features a collection of face-to-face interviews written up with passion and integrity and illustrated by the best photojournalism for an audience who values depth. We couple the masterful works of internationally renowned talents such as John M. Dibbs with artistic, reportage style photography from a cadre of dynamic emerging photographers.
We firmly reject the “print is dead” mantra. Each of the Echo’s pages turns to reveal insights and visuals like no other aviation publication. For that reason, we’ve made the decision not to reproduce the magazine digitally. We want our readers to relax and embrace their desire for something tangible – something weighty and substantial that feels good to hold, that would sit comfortably on a coffee table.
