In any case, I was unable to find any official charter in the ISC
archives for the newsgroup or in Google's archives.

The offical charter is in the ISC archives he
ftp://ftp.isc.org/usenet/news.announ...aviation-reorg

"Information pertinent to pilots of general aviation aircraft which
would not fall into one of the other non-misc rec.aviation groups.
Topics include, but are not limited to flying skills, interesting sights,
destinations, flight characteristics of aircraft, unusual situations,
handling emergencies, working with air traffic control, international
flights, customs and immigration, experiences with ground support
facilities, etc."

It's interesting to see that there are people who voted in the reorg back
in 1992 who are still posting, like:

Ron Natalie and
Ron Wanttaja.
