There have already been a few topics on how similar the magazines now are following Pilot's recent changes.

I like many others above no longer regularly buy all three. I occasionally buy either Pilot or Flyer. But as they test the same aircraft, go to the same events and retread the same topics for articles it is now very easy not to buy any of them. I can look up in the loft and find the old articles - which are often very much better written, checked and technically orientated.

Now that Pilot has dumbed down to be a near exact clone of Flyer I'm left with the PFA mag and Flight Safety etc.

It does seem to be a huge shame that the technical and historic background of much current writing is so poor. I could never consider myself an authority but bindingly obvious errors now litter most articles - perhaps it's the editors havng so little background?
