Electric Flight (1-year auto-renewal)

I bought a subscription of this for my father-in-law as an early Christmas gift in November of 2009. I was told though that he wouldn't receive a copy until March. I was a little miffed at the late start, but let him know it was coming. By the third week in March of this year he still hadn't recieved it. I called the company and they said it should arrive in a week or so. Now, in the second week in April, he still hasn't gotten it. Once again I called them to find out the problem. This time I was told that they had cancelled the subscription because delivery of the magazine had failed. They had cancelled it without notice or refunding my account. After 10 minutes on the phone I finally got them to reinstate the subscription. Now I'm supposed to expect the July edition in May. Aka wait at least another 6 weeks to receive something that is already late.

My father-in-law loves the magazine, but frankly it's hard to appreciate something you never receive. If it doesn't show up in the coming weeks I'm cancelling the subscription and sending him a very apologetic card.

After purchasing the subscription it seems to take forever to get your first copy(but no matter how you order a magazine it seems this way). The magazine is excellent. It concentrates on smaller RC airplanes, especially electrics.

Expensive magazine (over $3.00 per issue) geared to the new flier. Lots of advertising embedded in the articles. You would be better served by logging on to rcgroups.com or wattflier.com to get good solid articles and unbiased reviews from the people who bought and fly the planes. Oh yeah, the half dressed teeny-boppers on many of the covers makes you wonder what time zone (60's perhaps) the editors live in!

I ordered a subscription for the Electric Flight magazine online and have yet to receive an issue. I believe the magazine would be something I would enjoy reading but I wouldn't know. If I had any suggestions to offer, I would never order online again for a magazine subscription as this seems to be a waste of money, time, and effort.

Flight Journal (1-year auto-renewal)

I have been a subscriber for over a year now, and this relatively new periodical is one of the best aviation publications I have ever read. There are some very big aviaiton writers behind this magazine, and it shows. Each issue covers many facets of the world of flight, with a definite bend towrds military avaition. There are often wonderfull and riveting first-hand accounts from WWI, WWII, Veitnam, Korea, the Gulf War, and the war in the Balkans. Each issue features a "gallery" which is simply a photo essay profile of a given aircraft, usually current front line military hardware, that is always stunning. Some of the articles that I have really enjoyed include a comprehensive history of the military leather flying jacket, a first hand account by a Black Widow pilot in WWII who had to shoot down a B-29 after the crew bailed out and the autopliot flew on, and a great first-hand account by an A-10 pilot about a mission in Kosovo. If you love flying, civil or military, warbirds or jet fighters, or even "aerial oddities" you will love this magazine!

I agree with the previous review. High quality articles and photos of restored or found vintage aircraft. This magazine covers a wide range of aviation subjects. I love them all! Great read every month.

"Flight Journal" is a first rate aviation magazine which features well written articles on a wide range of aviation issues ranging from civil to military aircraft, aviation history and art, latest aircraft technology and vintage types, safety issues, among several other subjects. This makes the journal very appealing to a wide readership. Aviation enthusiasts will always look forward to the next issue of the journal as it is bound to come up with something new and enlightening, whether it is reports of restorations, some rare photographs or a feature on the latest jet fighter aircraft.

However, some readers with only specialised areas of interest in aviation may not find this journal appealing. Such readers could include those only interested in aircraft maintenance, or just regional airlines or airline fleet and network planning etc. For me, however, I love anything to do with aviation and thus this journal was produced for the likes of me.

I have been a Flight Journal subscriber for many years so I was very disappointed with the Voodoo article. There are so many inaccurate statements that it makes me wonder if the person interviewed actually flew an F101. I sent an e mail to the magazine web site outlining some of the mistakes but no reply was received. I also provided a copy of a page from my Air Force flight records that document the fact that I flew the Voodoo as a pilot in 1959 and 1960.

I also provided the much the same imput on the magazine web site as a response about the article. It also never saw the "light of day". One can only wonder about the overall accuracy of any of the articles in the magazine. I will not be renewing my subscription this year.

National Geographic - French ed

Subscribed to the French edition of National Geo so my son could have some reading material to continue to learn French. The subscription service purchase went off well it is amazon after all but the magazine was delayed from delivery for 3 months before the first edition came. Good product but just a slight downgrade for the subscription delivery slowness.

Focus on the Family Citizen

Citizen magazine gives me news and commentary that I can trust without a liberal slant. I read about happenings that do not even make it onto CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS or FOX.
