Canadian Aviation Magazines

[Mike Reyno]

I'm interested in knowing how everyone feels about the Canadian aviation magazines that are available....

[ASL]

I personally like the ASL... :up:

Why is it if you look at the results it will not let you vote??

[ASL]

Well, since ASL is not even in the running, :hide: , I guess I'll go with my 2nd choice. IMHO, the magazine that best addresses the needs of real pilots is COPA Flight. Yes I know you may say it's G.A., but all in all, I like the content. All other magazines seem yo have the same look and feel. Vertical is OK and my buddy CTD likes it too, but it quite specialized, so not enough for ALL pilots. WINGs is OK but geared to businesses and government, not really pilots.

 

The magazine "Aviation Quebec", which also carries a section called "La Brousse". is also very high on my must read list, #2 to COPA Flight.

Mike, I hope you won't be offended by my wondering if your poll isn't a little self-serving, not that there's any crime in that, just that it might look a little unseemly in this (supposedly) fair and (dare I suggest) impartial forum.

P.S. After my post, I abstained by peeking. Congratulations.

Downwash,

 

Actually my interest is in the fixed wing magazines in Canada. I wouldn't expect Vertical to fair as highly as it is on this site considering it is also big amongst the fixed wing community which has no idea what Vertical is. So, I guess I was wrong in adding Vertical and Helicopters to the poll. You'll have a better understanding why in the near future.

...so, what's the new magazine going to be called??? Horizontal ?

[Mike Reyno]

Thanks Mag Seal.

 

Actually, not sure if you have noticed, but every issue of Vertical rotates between a feature on maintenance by Gavin Miller (MPLAN Solutions) or a feature on avionics (Walter Shawlee - founder of NAT). The latest issue of Vertical features a story on Trouble Shooting: Being a Mechanical Detective.

 

Make sure you subscribe soon before the hots run out!

 

I am interested in what people think of the fixed wing magazines. Are they lacking in content? Are the covering the industry?

I'm kind of like Mag. When I'm done my 'chores' at home, I've barely time enough to look at the pictures, let alone read 'seized rotor' mags or articles.

 

Like your name idea, 407. But like Mag, it brings me pictures of thick, soft mattresses rather than aerodynes of any persuasion.
