No.

or has Flying become among the worst GA magazines to read?

Yes. The only good writer left is Peter Garrison. Lane Wallace is
afraid to fly at night. Everybody else is afraid to fly in anything
costing less than $500,000.


Here's a post I made about Flying Rag in November 2002.


Flying magazine is about worthless anymore. So I get a thick envelope
from them, open it, and it's a survey complete with a crisp dollar
bill. Alright, I think, a chance to tell them what's wrong with their
magazine.

So I start reading the survey. It starts with the usual questions
about flying experience, do I own or rent, and so on. Then it gets to
my job: what do I do, job title, etc. Then total family income, and
do I own rental and investment property? And how much do I own in
stocks?

Now I'm thinking, screw you. Your magazine sucks and the only thing
you want to know from me is my financial situation?? It's now one
dollar better, that's for sure. Maybe I'll send the return envelope
back empty.
