We get it at work. It's ok, but more focused on the business side of aviation. There's some info on engineering, but it's fairly light. Not much in there about "piloting" except for the occasional article.

It's worth the money, even if you aren't interested in happenings in defense and space. Articles are highly technical and well-researched, and their accident coverage is second to none. There's news concerning the airline industry that isn't available in the WSJ or anywhere else, and it's timely since it's a weekly.

I'm extremely pleased with my first year subscription. The articles are timely, especially with respect to airline financial dealings and potential trouble spots. Much of the military stuff is quite detailed and are sometimes far too contract oriented (so and so just received a 45 gazillion dollar contract to study the average wind speed of a laden sparrow...), but you'll often be able to detect classified projects by reading between the lines. Not that I'm acknowledging such security breaches, of course...

While I disagree with many of their editorials, that's to be expected. The letters to the editor are a hoot at times.

Look for a special offer for the subscription; you ought to be able to get a year's worth for around 60 bucks or so.

I usually refer to it as "Aviation Leak."

Check out a few articles on www.aviationnow.com. If you get a subscription, you also get access to the magazine online.

I like it. It offers the broader industry perspective in a form that can be skimmed over in a couple of "throne" sessions, or you can spend a few hours with each issue if you're feeling geeky. "Flying", etc are too dumb-downed anymore. I don't need the thirty-seventh article on mastering crosswinds. Airline pilots can fly airplanes, what they need to learn is the dynamics of the business, for their own personal gain if nothing else.

Hence its former nickname- Aviation Leak and Soviet Technology

Some of the letters to the editor are hillarious! There are evidently a lot of subscribers who follow the industry, even though they know very little about it. They come up with these bizzarre, completely unworkable ideas sometimes.
There are also a lot of employees of defense contractors defending their projects, as well as the usual Boeing/Airbus pissing matches. It's a nice break from the newstand usuals.
