I have every copy of the old digest and they are a treasured part of my library. I learnt alot from reading them, how could you ever forget the photo of that 707 center section spinning down near Mt Fuji after running into a standing wave, or the BAC-111 comming apart in a thunderstorm.(young Co-Pilot says, "wots a Back one eleven?"). God give me strength. I don't keep any of the new ones, although to be fair there is some good info. I dislike the commercialism with all the ads, the paper is cheap and nasty and all that AD and quizy stuff, quite boring. I have met Mac, he is a journalist of the old school who writes without reverting to sensationalism. Mac would think "plunge" is what you do to your coffee beans! I eagerly await the new book.
