Elwood,

I was thinking about updating to the new aviation consumer book. Why do you
recommend the older ones? Has there been a change? The one I have from the
eighties seems fairly written.

Only because the older ones can be found used for $10 or so. The new
one is $50 plus shipping. I have read some of the later (updated)
reports, and it didn't seem to me that there was $40 worth of new
information there.

Then again, if you are well heeled it is very interesting to compare the
reports of, say, an older Comanche to a newer Cirrus SR20. But then if
you are that well heeled, you can afford the $40!
