People actually pay for Aviation Consumer?

The most valuable 39 bucks (or whatever the subscription is) I spend per
year in aviation.

I agree. I subscribed several years ago when my company was thinking of
buying a Cherokee 6 and I wanted access to the back issue database online.
I've read just about every word in each issue since.

Me, too. It's the ONLY magazine out there that actually tells it like it
is, without being influenced by advertisers.

You sweep with a broad brush. Do you read "Consumer Reports" ?

I pretty much ignored both Consumer Reports and Aviation Consumer until
they'd their articles on the Internet. It doesn't do me a lot of good to
have diesels reviewed on Monday if I'm not buying one until Thursday.

But with articles now available at the search of a keyword, I've become a
"subscriber" to both (though I wish AC permitted me to opt out of the
paper).

I know that this doesn't go directly to the issue of editorial honesty,
but I thought I'd point out a far more mundane task that both periodicals
have done right.
