My problem is that I haven't paid for a subscription in a decade, yet Flying
still keeps showing up at my doorstep. Christmas present subscriptions, ya
know!

AOPA is generally pretty good except that everything seems like an add for
the organization. I don't like Rod. Good topics but the silly humor gets in
the way. If he cut it back to just one or two puns per paragraph, it might
be palatable.

But, by far the best writing and information-filled articles are on AvWeb.
If you aren't reading it, you are missing 80% of the good information
floating around. Mike Busch shows up there too.

I quit subscribing years ago. The writers of many aviation mags churn
out clichéd, insipid crap that often has little relevance to the
flying I do, putzing around in an Aircoupe. AOPA Pilot is also filled
with junk that is wordy and boring. I've never found anything from
EAA that is consistently good.

Instead, I've taken to individual writers. Rod Machado has a regular
article in AOPA Pilot and is a fair to good author. Often the Never
Again article is better written and far more interesting than that
from the professional writers. Mike Busch
(http://www.savvyaviator.com/articles.html) writes clearly and concisely.

Also try Aviation Consumer and Light Plane Maintenance for articles
that are both relevant and interesting to read. What a concept! I
wish a similar mag with just plain flying stories could be produced.
