Amen. What a freakin' blowhard.

And Garrison on his own isn't enough to keep me resubscribing,

He is for me. Far and away the best writer in aviation journalism. I
don't get the Lane Wallace fan club, though; she often comes across as
maudlin to me.

That said, every now and then Flying runs a feature that seems
interesting, and it's one of the least expensive aviation magazines
I've seen that's worth reading. But I already have a LOT of reading
in my life. Aviation isn't the only topic for periodicals to which I
subscribe, and there are still books, and of course online resources
to read.

Indeed. The stack of "must reads" at my bedside is a serious avalanche
threat. Try becoming well informed on the evolution/intelligent design
"controversy" if you're not a biologist to begin with.

That's easy. One is based on science and the other on superstition,
some times called faith.

If I had nothing better to do, maybe I'd have kept up the
subscription, but when it came time to do some paring down, Flying was
one of the first to go.

It's the only non-Belvoir I have left besides the "perforce" mags, AOPA
Pilot and Sport Aviation.
