Filing Flight Plan
For those of you that get aviation related periodicals, which one do you think is best? Plane & Pilot, AOPA Flight Training, etc...

Sport Aerobatics, the EAA/IAC magazine. My next favorite is the Smithsonian Air & Space magazine. AOPA Pilot, Flying, IFR, AOPA Flight Training, and AutoPilot are all showing up at my house periodically.
Belvoir must be slipping if you need to be *reminded* to renew!!IFR magazine is the top on my list, which reminds me I need to renew my subscription.

As I continue to declutter and reduce my life complexities I am thinking of dropping my AOPA and EAA memberships. I don't seem to get much for them for the amount I pay in dues and I really don't read the magazines either. That money saved can be used for 1 hour of flying a year.
Welcome to PoA. Hope we stay high on your list of aviation sources.I thought the one reason for joining AOPA or EAA was not for the magazines, but for the representation as a lobbying group. The way things have been going, GA could use all the help it gets.
I like EAA's Sport Aviation. My Dad gets it and I enjoy looking at it when I visit. The first page I turn to is the completions page for all the homebuilts...each a small victory in someone's game of life.
Since I've just started my training, I'm trying to decide between AOPA or EAA. I'll probably go with AOPA this year to get their training magazine and hit up EAA after that.

Welcome to flying and PoA. Though you may be on a small budget, you could always join both! They both have something to offer. AOPA has a definite national, big iron focus. They seem ignore us small GA except for their "Let's go Flying" program which doesn't get much mention. EAA is very much small GA and homebuilt. There's local chapters, each with their own focus. They also support a wide variety of interests. And Young Eagles is a special program.I thought the one reason for joining AOPA or EAA was not for the magazines, but for the representation as a lobbying group.

What is the Smithsonian saying that is so wrong that they need to correct so many errors?I read GAN, Pacific Flyer, and AeroNews. P&P is the absolute worst--even dangerous--closely followed by Smithsonian Air & Space. The latter is so full of errors that each month they have a column of corrections.
Mostly about who flew what on which dates and in which theater of operations. Include development and testing, and line operations in that assessment.What is the Smithsonian saying that is so wrong that they need to correct so many errors?
I get more out of online sources than I do magazines. Plane & Pilot is tolerable, but if you subscribe for more than a year, you see how they recycle themes, February is bargain airplane month, April is learn to fly month, etc.
At least when I write an article *I* try to refrain from recycled material...
