Final 3 Greens: I love the idea of a 'passion for flying' test, which you might extend to magazine publishers, editors and contributors alike.
So, to keep to the original subject of this thread: Pilot, two years ago - publisher/editor a past aerobatic fiend and respected book writer of over thirty years standing, now flying company-owned aircraft; Pilot, as we know it now - publisher either a non-aviator or (depending on which story you beleive) a chap just learning to fly, and the editor a man with no aeroplane to his name (according to his own editorial).
Cue he who has no direct involvement popping up in instant defence...
This is all such fun (but I will stop, if people tell me I am boring them).
