Must be some Karma here, my initials too. I subscribe here from OZ ($54 two
years) as opposed to paying $11 per issue at the newsagent.

Having said that, I've noticed that the general thrust of the magazine has
shifted from generally GA (me a low time VFR pilot) to mid sized jets. I
don't mind the occassional article on the jets, but I really have no
interest. As far as I'm concerned the content is (has) shifting
significantly out of my interest zone and I wont be updating the
subscription when it expires.

The local AOPA magazine here in OZ is, well, poor by comparison to the US
version. I've thought about joining the US AOPA just to get the magazine.
The local OZ SAAA magazine is a better fit for me than Flying, at least it
talks stuff I want to hear.

YMMV,

My last issue of Flying came in the mail today, and I won't be re-upping
the subscription. In recent years, I've grown more and more reluctant to
renew it, but when it came to crunch time, I went ahead and mailed in my
$12.00 or whatever. Not this year, though. In all honesty, I don't
remember the last article or column in Flying that made me want to go back
and re-read the article. Instead, the magazine arrives and I spend an
hour or so breezing through it, then it goes into the trash can, leaving
me wondering what I missed.

Once upon a time, I subscribed to 4 or 5 aviation magazines and enjoyed
them all. Now I'm only taking two aviation related mag's - Sport Aviation
and AOPA Pilot, and both of them are member benefits from their sponsor
organizations. I have a tremendous interest in aviation and love to read,
so why don't the aviation magazines interest me anymore? Have the
magazines changed? Is it me? Is it that the subject matter is finite and
after reading 20 years worth of aviation magazines, there is very little
left that is new and interesting to me?

Anyway, it is sad in a way that there isn't an aviation magazine that
interests me enough that I'll spend $12 or $15 a year for a subscription.
