AOPA Magazine

Hi Guys,

I have just read through three pages of posts on the subject of 'Pilot' and how it compares with various other magazines, including sailing and motoring magazines, and NOBODY has even mentioned AOPA's magazine.

Now I haven't flown for several years (for a succession of reasons including pressure of work, medical and financial ones) and so finally resigned my membership of AOPA about a year ago. If I should eventually manage to resume flying (unlikely) then I shall definitely resume membership of AOPA.

However, certainly up until the time I left AOPA, their magazine was vastly better than anything else on the market, especially for the UK pilot, but nobody here even mentions it. This is especially surprising bearing in mind that a student pilot joining AOPA gets the magazine free for a year.

Is this because AOPA's magazine has declined in quality so precipitately in the last year that doesn't even merit a mention, (very hard to believe,) or is it because AOPA's membership is now in decline at a time when GA needs AOPA more than ever it did and hence nobody here is receiving their magazine?

BP.
