Best Aviation Magazines?

My favorite 5:

1) Flying - I guess that make three of us (with Jay) but I really like
it. They may be disagreeable at times but they're not afraid to take a
position and tell you when they don't like something. Hard to do in an
advertising-based revenue model.

2) AOPA Pilot - kind of plays it safe but they just have a lot of
articles so I'm bound to find some interesting. I like the
pilot-centric (of course) and owner angle.

3) IFR/IFR Refresher - yeah they're technically two but I still haven't
figured out how their angles are different. Good stuff regardless.

4) Aviation Safety - Got some good articles more often than not. I
think our fellow newsgrouper Paul Sanchez writes for them too. I like
the down in the weeds detail he and others provide.

5) Aviation Consumer - Like Jay stated, lots of data points in a
condensed format. However, I've read in this NG at some point that a
lot gets edited-out and it sometimes changes the overall color of the
article and I can sense that from time to time.

Plane and Pilot is getting better and better since the absorption of
Private Pilot.

Unlike most here, I read about 10 magazines front-to-back every month
thanks to my 1 hour + communte on a train. Heck, I even "read"
Trade-a-Plane and Controller when I'm hungry for more. My wife thinks
I'm hopeless.

I get AOPA but for whatever reasons, it doesn't cut it for me. Too
sanitized, not enough opinion.

Hee hee! Well, Marco, you're not alone.

You see how many magazines we get at the hotel. I read them ALL, and
usually end up wanting more.

My wife KNOWS I'm hopeless...

Even better, it helps that your wife APPROVES of you being hopeless. g

Well, sometimes. I fear much of the time she is bravely suffering in

Reading on the train/bus/subway/tram is one of the things I miss about
commuting and NYC.
