But, I started to lose interest when the cost of a simple single engine airplane went for more than I make in 5 years! I know the feeling. I used to subscribe to most of the aviation mags, but after a decade or so, I found myself reading the same old rehashed articles. How many times can you read the annual "Watch out for density altitude" articles in the spring and the "Preheating your airplane" articles every fall. I dropped everything except the AOPA mag that comes with the membership. I don't think I've missed much. John Galban=====N4BQ (PA28-180) Don't you get Pipers magazine too Marco |

Flying Magazine?
"Lou" wrote in message
... Does anyone here read Flying magazine? I got an offer from them for 9 issues for $7. Is that a good deal? Is it worth reading? Has it always been just 9 issues or is this their way of cutting cost? Lou I really like the magazine. I got a similar 3-year deal. I think mine was between $20-$30 for three years so it was a no-brainer. While they do have articles on flying business jets, they also have many relevant articles for the spam-can drivers. I even find Mac's columns to be highly relevant to typical GA despite his propensity to do all the business jet aircraft reviews. He regularly flies a Baron out of HPN and many of his columns are based off those experiences. I find that it has a pretty good mix of all types of flying as evidenced by the disparate backgrounds of their columnists. It's one of the few mags I read cover-to-cover every month. Marco |

I've been enjoying a FREE 12-month subscription thru a CC deal. I have
not been around craft , ATC, or a sub to Flying in over 20 years. My oh my, how technology has changed. And I mean---much more complicated with the avionics for navigation and weather INTERPRETATION. I don't think I could just hop in a rental single and just go fly unless the plane is 1970's or older. Flying magazine is an excellent source for those out of the loop, to realize how much u don't know about all the fancy stuff. So, I say it's no just the same-o, same-o "JGalban via AviationKB.com" u32749@uwe wrote in message news:8a4911e72636b@uwe... Marco Leon wrote: Don't you get Pipers magazine too Hehe! Good catch, Marco. I never really thought of that as a real magazine. After all, they had my plane on the cover once :-))) John Galban=====N4BQ (PA28-180) -- Message posted via AviationKB.com http://www.aviationkb.com/Uwe/Forums...ation/200809/1 |

They couldn't pay me to read their rag. Actually a few years ago they
did pay me a dollar to answer a survey. I kept the dollar and tossed the survey. -- Nothing exists except atoms and empty space; everything else is opinion. ~ Democritus |
