I enjoy recieving my aircraft/piloting mags in the mail. Just curious what publications you all subscribe to? Maybe there are some that we're not all aware of, but would enjoy. I'll start with a couple.

Flying
Plane&Pilot
 
Flying (comes with NAFI membership)
AOPA Pilot
AOPA FT
Soaring

Funny, i just realized all my mags are paid through association memberships.
 
Magazines:

-AOPA Flight Training
-AOPA Pilot (I get my grandfathers month or two old subscriptions when he's done with them)
-Flying Magazine
-Plane and Pilot Magazine (to feed to my dog, Scout)
-PC World [to help when I'm not flying...learning about new tech. to be integrated in planes such as tablet computers for EFBs]

My dad also gets Business and Commercial Aviation and Professional Pilot subscription(s) for free, so I read those as well.

By the end of the month I have 6 magazines waiting to be read, all being put on hold.

GA News
Aviation Consumer
IFR
IFR refresher
AOPA Pilot
EAA Sport Pilot
Pilot Getaways
MAPA Log (Mooney Group)

I've dropped:
Flying
Private Pilot
Plane&Pilot
Aviation Safety
Light Plane Maintenance
 
AOPA Pilot
Trade-a-Plane (you just never know when that next plane with higher performance will be lurking there)
 
AOPA Pilot
World Beechcraft

... and that's about it. We used to depend on trade magazines to keep up with the industry; now with the internet and online services like this message board, AvWeb, the various owners' groups, etc., the print periodicals are no longer so essential.

I was an avid Flying reader for many years; I still have every issue since September 1960 up to the mid-'90s or so. They seem to have gone off courting the glass/composite/turbine crowd, and I find little of interest in there any more.

Yeah, yeah, I know, Ken. Aviation safety hasn't been the same since you left :)

Isn't that the truth. And the changes are why my subscription runs out next month.

You guys are SOO nice! (The check's in the mail!)

Just out of curiosity, can you look in the mouse type on one of the back pages of the December issue and tell me what the circulation is these days?
