September 2, 20205 yr Interesting article in Flyer Magazine this month on Pierre Robin (who died this year) on his wonderful innovations and aircraft, two of which we have in the sim of course. Flyer magazine is a UK based GA magazine that I used to get in paper form but it's now gone completely digital and is free to download and read at your leisure. I miss the paper version as it was essential lavatory reading material and one can't easily take a dump balancing a laptop on one's knees. https://issuu.com/flyerdigital/docs/flyeroctober2020?utm_source=FLYER%2Bmagazine&utm_campaign=de2223773d-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_4_17_2020_10_42_COPY_09&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_96bfea8b9b-de2223773d-300533192 It also includes a review of our very own MSFS. Enjoy. Edited September 2, 20205 yr by Will Fly For Cheese

September 2, 20205 yr iPad or iPhones are great substitutes when you need to visit the room.... Thomas Derbyshire
September 2, 20205 yr Okay, I'll be the noob and ask - what does "GA" stand for? I'm going to guess "general aviation". Am I right?

September 2, 20205 yr Author A quick glance at my "throne-side" reading material reveals; about a dozen past copies of 'Flyer', 'Pilot Magazine' and 'Light Aviation' (UK Light Aviation Authority mag), The Haines Spitfire Workshop Manual, The Armed Forces Pension Society (Pennant) magazine and a Pooley's Flight Shop catalogue. Maybe I'm in to this whole flying thing a bit too much....after all if God wanted us to fly he'd have given us wings? Naaah!
