Does anyone read magazines anymore? I do, but I’m biased. It costs about $7 to print and send this magazine to each member. RAAus are wondering if you think it’s worth spending that money on the magazine or reinvesting it. And they’d like you to tell them how you feel about it. There’s more detail in the CEO’s article on the matter in this issue. They have created an online survey so that you can tell us your views on the magazine and what you’d like going forward. There’s a link just below.
We’ve been very busy putting together some great articles. I’ve just completed a 30-plus-hour air tour running from my base in Geelong, all the way up to Darwin and back – you can read the full story in “Over the Top” in this edition. Once again, I was blown away by the privilege we have in seeing this glorious country from the air and the community of pilots and travellers that we get to fly with. There are some great technical and safety stories here too. It’s also worth checking out Cody Calder’s article for an update on access to Controlled Airspace for RAAus pilots. So, enjoy the magazine and your flying — and don’t forget to complete that survey and keep sending in your letters and articles to editor@sportpilot.net.au!
