Is it me, or has Flying become among the worst GA magazines to read?
Why does it seem that all I read about are trip reports from Mac and
Dick Collins that, personally, offer little educational value? Each
of these guys write serveral articles per issue. Are they that hard
up for good writers, or do these guys just like to write everything
themselves? When I open AOPA Pilot, Flight Training, Private Pilot,
Plane and Pilot, etc. I find a good balance of education, reviews, and
good tidbits. All I feel I've gained from reading Flying is knowing
every detail of what's in the Avionics stack of Mac's Barron and
Dick's Cessna P210.

Before I retired, I read Aviation Safety, Aviation Consumer, LIght
Plane Maintenance, NTSB Reporter, and the usual trade mags (AvWeek,
Flight International, IDR, Jane's Defense Weekly, Defense News, etc)
through the Dryden Research Library distribution, as well as having a
private subscription to Flying and Approach.

Now I only have subscriptions to Flying, NTSB Reporter, AvWeek, and
Approach and I miss Aviation Safety. I miss Flight International too,
but it's really expensive.
