Best Aviation mags ,for a snowy day

Back in the late 70's and until the mid-80's I subscribed to Air Classics Magazine. The cost of subscriptions became too much for me and I didn't have time to read them while in college. The internet provides so much information today and I can collect articles, information and tons of pictures without taking up space with a bunch of magazines.
 
Border Pilot is great reading any time; excellent book. I subscribe to Airways magazine.

Nothing online, looking through a bunch of old Squadron In Action booklets and Windsock Datafiles. I have a few repaints I have in mind. :ernae:

I've been long attached to Warbird Digest, Flight Journal, and I'll pick up a Flypast issue from time to time. Another good one, which I wish I was subscribed to, is Classic Wings, which always covers topics that other mags don't seem to, and being based 'Down Under', they always have the scoop on all of the fascinating WWI and WWII restorations happening in New Zealand and Australia – which probably have the most interesting restoration projects compared to the rest of the world (P-39's, Kingfisher's, Mosquito's, P-40C, P-40F's, A-20's, P-38's, Razorback P-47's, Japanese Tony's, and fully accurate reproduced WWI aircraft and engines, led by Peter Jackson).

I used to be a happy consumer of Warbirds International, but I have long since lost interest in the mag, since as long as you check into various forums across the internet, you already know everything that the next issue is going to talk about - which is sometimes similar with Warbirds Digest as well, but it is a better, more well-written magazine, with more insight.
 
If you like Experimental and Classic aircraft, I highly recommend EAA's Sport Aircraft and also their new magazine, which I think is called 'Vintage Aircraft', (not sure though).

They are great reading and good for showing you how-to's on working on planes.

For actual students and people learning to fly, get AOPA's magazines. They have two out, one for students, one for pro pilots. They are inexpensive as well. For students, you get your first year free.

Lefty just mailed me the latest copy (with the Avro Shackleton database section). I have a hard time finding it here but is one of the best I think. I really like the new monthly propliner spotlight they have going. Highlighted the Junkers Ju 86 this time.
