The John Travolta appearance was what really
put it over the top.

Yet I do echo the yearning for the wild west
frontier days before the FAA, TSA, medical
certificates, TFRs, background checks,
shoot-down authority, 8020-11 forms, etc.

Every flying magazine felt compelled (naturally) to write extensively about
the Wright Brothers for the past year, to the point where I simply didn't
want to read another article about them... Each magazine seemed to be
struggling to top the others in hyperbole and hoopla, and I guess I
experienced "Wright Overload"...

It's great to get the current batch of mags, and see some major lineage
devoted to covering the new Garmin G1000, and other modern flying-related
stuff. (Anyone else see the current article on the G1000 in Flying Mag?
What a panel!)
