I've got my opinions (and we subscribe to a bunch of them) -- but I'm
curious what the group-think is on this question:

What's your top 5 favorite aviation mags?

Private Pilot
AOPA Pilot
Kitplanes

I only subscribe to these three currently.

I just resubscribed to Flying as I bought a copy in the airport
bookstore and couldn't resist the card offer of 3 years for $18! If
they want to give it away, I'll take it! Flying was my favorite for
many years, but I thought it went downhill in the mid-90s and I dropped
my subscription then.

I also get this freebie magazine whose exact name I can't remember
(something with Aviator in the name, I believe) that is mostly about
travel destinations. It is an OK magazine, but mostly highlights placed
I can't afford to visit (resorts, etc.). I got a "sample" copy a couple
of three years ago with a subscription offer. I never subscribed, but
it keeps on coming.

Light Plane Maintenance.

Note that I don't list AOPA's mag even though I'm a member.
I don't have much interest in high-end GA or $30,000 panels.

I only regularly read the IFR magazine. I subscribe to the AOPA and EAA
magazines, but I don't always get around to reading them.

What's your top 5 favorite aviation mags?

Five?? I barely read the daily paper. Who has time to read magazines
when there are real airplanes to fly, and USENET to post to?

I get AOPA pilot, since I'm an AOPA member. Sometimes I read a few
articles (mostly they pile up so I can read them "later"). I also visit
avweb.com when I remember.

In that case, I hope you don't vote, either.

Wouldn't it be better to have facts before voting?

Fat chance.

We *give* the local newspaper away to every guest at our hotel. In
fact, we deliver it to their suite, along with breakfast each morning.
All they have to do is check the little box labeled "Yes" on their
breakfast order form.

While the majority of guests do still want the paper, it's truly
disheartening how many people check the "No" box. I'm always hopeful
that these are the folks who never make it to the polls.

Then again, they may be people on vacation who want to get away from politics
and other woes of the world. Just because I'm not interested in the actions of
Congress one week out of the year doesn't make me a bad citizen. I'm not
required to keep my TV on CNN or Fox News 24 hours a day, am I?

Also, I've usually got little interest in the local newspapers when I'm
traveling. Why should I be interested in scandals involving a city council
2,000 miles from home? Why should the scores of the local high school
basketball teams interest me? I've rarely stayed in hotels that offer free
local newspapers; most give out either McPaper (USA Today) or the Wall Street
Journal.
