Nostalgia OR Can You Name the Issue?

Mayflower was one of the Goodyear blimps. Super Guppy was that Revell kit of the Nasa caro plane. I used to have the lighted motorize blimp in my room as a kid.

Ya missed .Next !

It was the July/ Aug 1984 issue

If I undetstand what you are asking.

I first saw a model of the Goodyear blimp around 1976/77.  I was told that at that time it was a re-release from a few years earlier.

The Guppy was running around about the same time.  This one I caught at Little rock A.F.B.  I don't know if it's a standard or Super guppy.  The model was originally from Otaki, I believe and then from Entex, just like the C-5A that I bouight in Dover, Del. in 1973.

Well,I always used to page thru my binders while riding the stationary bike,so I clearly remember the cover.

But I must confess that I Googled the answer.

Here's another one: In what month and year did FSM change the cover font for the magazine name from a more tradtional Times New Roman style font to the more modern style still used today? The format of the magazine also underwent a variety of changes. Here are the covers with the dates removed:
