Thanks for the heads-up! (Or should I say, "I learned about Flying from that" )

Thanks....I think......another way to spend endless hours on the internet.....

Thanks for posting that.

I started reading Flying as a teenager, it was my sole source of knowledge on general aviation.
Thanks to a better than average memory (about aviation stuff at least ) it's where I learned about not only Cessnas and Beeches, but about vintage aircraft like Stinsons and various biplanes.

One of it's more noteworthy editors, Stephen Wilkinson, is a frequent poster here and has a wealth of knowledge about the magazine and general aviation in its "glory days".

I figure if you wanted my opinion on items unrelated to this forum, you'd ask for it.

Funny...I just forwarded this link to my wife, who was the managing editor of Flying back when we first met, and I told her that here was where she could look up all the awful, embarrassing, sexist things I wrote in the 1960s/70s...I particularly remember one article I did on some avionics company that claimed it was going to put all the other avionics companies out of business (it went bankrupt within a year), and I dutifully repeated their claim that they used women assemblers "because their fingers were smaller."

I don't even want to think about it...and I'm not gonna look.
