I just wish that the powers that be would scrap the current mag and bring back the Digest. Far as I'm concerned, the Digest was far more educational.
As someone mentioned in an earlier post it seems that the same accidents keep occurring over and over.
Accident reports ending in phrases such as......
' The accident occurred because the pilot continued flight into conditions which were not suitable...........' quite often made sober reading.
You only live twice. Once when
you're born. Once when
you've looked death in the face.

The old crash comics died long before 87 along with Mac editorship (10 years?) the theory being that there wasn't enuf b*******t, didn't matter if nobody read it so long as there was some w**k which looked good.
Many thanks to Sparrow (and others) who pushed for the gong.

I too know Macarthur as a Gentleman and a fine Aviator.
I was pleased to hear that he has been honoured for his services to aviation.
Many years ago I contacted BASI requesting that the early editions of the "crash comic" be placed on CD, so that we could all benefit from the early experiences, however their reply was that it was not their job (heard that one before).
I still think it would be a good idea if some department could make them available on CD.
