Best Aviation Magazines?

I barely read the daily paper.

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

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.

Someone did mention Fly-Past. ;-)

Whoops. Right.

How much is that magazine today? I was amazed to see a price of over
$3.00, in the mid-1980s. I think most magazines were around $1.00 back
then...

Is it still quirky and good, or have they gotten all polished and
slick?

Unlike most here, I read about 10 magazines front-to-back every month
thanks to my 1 hour + communte on a train. Heck, I even "read"
Trade-a-Plane and Controller when I'm hungry for more. My wife thinks
I'm hopeless.

Hee hee! Well, Marco, you're not alone.

You see how many magazines we get at the hotel. I read them ALL, and
usually end up wanting more.

My wife KNOWS I'm hopeless...

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.

I will usually read USA Today ( all the news that's fit to color )
because I've read it enough to have a idea of it's slant. I generally
don't read national news in a local paper because I don't have enough
data to know what's BS and what's not. I also get the majority on my
news online. The paper is good for the intellectual section ( comics )

Make it to the polls with all that propaganda under their belts?

I ALWAYS look for a hotel that has high speed internet (not always available
in some of the backwater places I go to), and with my laptop and a load of
bookmarked URL's I have good data, not the MSM trash.

I think it was Mark Twain who said:

If you don't read the newspaper, you are uninformed.
If you do read the newspaper, you are misinformed.

I like reading & watching news from outside the USA just to get a
perspective on what the rest of the world thinks is important, or
to see what the "top story" of the day is elsewhere. It's just my
opinion (and this is not a liberal vs conservative rant... in my
book, one is worse than the other, just pick one!), but most of the
"news" available to the average consumer in the USA doesn't
measure up to my personal beliefs about what objective and
reasoned reporting should be.
