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.

I still subscribe. I do think Flying spends too much time on the bizjet side
of things though.

Dick Collins is a bit pedantic in his writing style, but I value his
opinions, even if I don't always agree. His critcal looks at safety issues
are some of the best counterpoints to the FAA propaganda and I doubt there
is anyone with more insight into weather.
