I too have been very disapointed with the last 3 or 4 editions of FI. I wouldnt say they are thin, more like anorexic!!
Some of the other mags are good, but the problem is that when something big is on, they all cover it, and then do so for at least 3 months take for example the paris airshow!
David Learmount is a member of this board, maybe he could comment on what has happened with FI in the past few years.
P.S. Where do I get a copy of Skyport?
