I subscribe to AOPA Pilot, Flying, Plane & Pilot, and used to Private Pilot until they renewed my subscription, cashed my check and then closed their doors. AOPA and Flying were excellent for safety tips and reminders. And I admit to a wee crush on Ms. Wallace.
But for general enjoyment of the articles I liked Private Pilot the best. Tropical Ed (Ed Stephens Jr.) was a riot and did a good job of getting his point across in a humorous manner. I wonder what he's doing now?
It seems most of the good helicopter magazines are from Canada and Europe but I've had a helluva time trying to get subscriptions to them.
In case one is asking why I subscribe to so many magazines...I'm not fond of being the 99th person to pick them off the back of the toilet in the mens room. The girlie magazines, well that's a different story.
