Thrasher,
I'm a regular visitor of the aus.aviation newsgroup. It's definately not a place for breaking news or startling revelations, but more a place where you can post interesting websites or ask questions. You could try clari.biz.industry.aviation or clari.biz.industry.aviation.releases to keep up with worldwide news.
May I ask which newsgroup reader you use? The one I currently use is not satisfactory anymore.
