Not for nothing, but what magazines are you getting that are putting out
informed in depth analysis of aviation events two days after they
happen? AVweb's stuff might be a day later than aero-news, but the news
appears much better researched, cleaner, well-written and to the point
and the content seems much more focussed..

All I ever see on aero-news is long lumbering messy stories about
everything and nothing at all, mixed with straight press releases, and
faa accident reports and zoomisms. It's all over the place. ... Is that
what you like about it?

It used to make great reading, not any more. Now AOPA has maybe one article
per day, Avweb has nothing much and what it does have is all reprints from
the magazines I already receive. The only on that is holding my interest is
www.aero-news.net

...and what would you like to see there.
it just seems to me that maybe the excitement and spark is gone. AVweb
was probably the first and surely the best, but now it's one of many.
Zoom's online rag is daily, but his history makes all of the content
questionable. EAA and AOPA are a bit too much spin for my taste.

I'm going to write a letter to AVweb and want your input. What are
these services good for these days and how do you think they could
serve us better?
