![]() I've got my opinions (and we subscribe to a bunch of them) -- but I'm curious what the group-think is on this question: What's your top 5 favorite aviation mags? My favorites are the ones I *don't* subscribe to. I have a couple of Fly Baby items that I make available to folks on my web page...patches, reprints of 1960s-era Fly Baby newsletters, etc. Because of the international interest in the airplane, I occasionally get requests for these items from folks outside of North America. When that happens, I offer them a deal: Instead sending me money, I tell them to package up a batch of their own country's aviation magazines and mail them to me. I tell them specifically NOT to buy new magazines for me...just send me the ones they've got sitting around and would be throwing out, anyway. To put together a bundle where the postage is approximately equal to the cost of the items I send them. I've received magazines from Great Britain, Norway, France, South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand. I get a special kick out of the Norwegian and French ones. It's fun to pick through the technical articles and try to figure out the point's they're making (e,g, even if you don't know what "La Vitesse Est Aussi Important Que La Masse" means, you can recognize photos and drawings of a pitot tube!). Even the advertisements are fresh.... Ron Wanttaja |
