Just received my first issue.

I must say that I'm impressed!! Very nice photos, excellent subjects! Keep it coming.

My only remark comes from the way it's shipped, mine arrived with a nasty bend in the middle. I guess there's not much we can do to prevent that without upping the costs!

:cry:

Can't wait to read it (that'll be later today!)

I read it and I must say that I'm totally impressed!

Keep it up boys!! Now, when are you going to run an article on the P-3? Eric wants to shoot some air-to-air with it! 8)

If I may, some suggestions/thoughts :

- it would be very nice to have a simple index at the end of each year, on separate sheets. Just a few photocopied pages would be perfect and would make it so much easier to find a particular article.

- safety articles --> a must. That's one thing I love with the EAA Warbird mag, they run these great articles on past accidents and provide insights on how to best be prepared to avoid or face such events. I'm sure we all know we can't make all the mistakes ourselves.

If I think of something else, I'll let you know!

I have been thinking of this one myself Tim. Perhaps some available in an electonic format and searchable? Something that has every s/n, c/n, c/r, aircraft nickname, owner name, restorer, etc. listed that can be searched. Perhaps at the end of each year a CD is mailed with the added information for that year, along with the information from the previous years (could create a demand for back issues). Or maybe instead of a mailed CD (you also want to keep costs low) something similar that can be emailed.

Just thinking out loud.

Not to make light of a serious subject... But I think what you are trying to say is that every person can only make one serious mistake. :wink:

Actually that is another article I quite enjoyed. Even though I am not a pilot, I enjoyed the safety article as it helped me to appreciate even more the performances I have witnessed at previous shows, including the one my Mr. Snodgrass in Excalibur at Yankee. Wow!

Terrific article by Brad. Well written about a subject that all warbird pilots and fans are vitally interested in.
The entire issue is terrific.
Nathan's Mustang is beautiful and the other articles interesting.
Overall a great effort.
Congratulations.
