Friday's 'The Australian'

[ThePaperBoy]

Why did I just waste $1.50 to read three aviation articles? How does Creedy still have a job - his articles are as boring as daytime television. At least Dr Phil has an opinion...

you PAID for a newspaper?

good god man!

try this :

AVIATION | Aviation News | Aviation Business News | The Australian | The Australian

[Capt Claret]

US$10 per month will get you an Australian online, about 2000z daily. Oh, an iPad makes it easier too.

Why do you have to pay for The Australian with US dollars, surely the real thing would be easier.

[Horatio Leafblower]

...you can get the Australian online - Aviation section only - for $100/year.

...but if you only buy the paper on Friday (like I do) 50 copies will cost you $75

Or you can just read the skippers.

Because the iPad App wants USD. And 24 Australians per month (assumes 4 wks x 6 days) = About $44/month for the real thing, including Weekend Australian.

And getting it on the iPad at 2000z on the day of publication is often better than getting it 24 to 30 hours later in the boondocks.

And if you only want 1 each Friday, it's only $1.19, or thereabouts depending upon the exchange rate.
