I enjoy your magazine a lot. But what were you thinking when you included the recent article about hunting wild pigs (Special section: Hunting, September issue)? And another on hunting game in the same issue? When I was 15, my Dad showed me an article about a man who had just received one of the […]

Thank you for the article discussing homeowner associations (Are homeowners’ associations a good idea, a necessary evil or a power grab? July 22 issue). Certainly there are situations, as discussed in the article, where HOAs and CC&Rs can be used to protect one’s property and property rights, however in both aviation and non-aviation related communities, the […]

I just finished your article “To save our airports” (July 22 issue). It is frustrating that politics saps so much joy from everyday GA operations. After following this subject for years, including leaseholder issues, business growth and finance problems, stability and viability in GA, community relations and “good neighbor” operations, I have come to believe […]

Why did you post this letter, “Eliminating the terrorist threat,” in the Aug. 5 issue? This person’s point of view is obviously exceptionally naive. Effectively, he’s saying that if we were just to come home and be nice so will everyone else. Is it really necessary to post such an absurdity? Please confine yourselves to […]

In the July 22 issue, the headline read Lycoming CAMshaft recall. Uh, a slight….er, not typo…more like “brain fade.” Come on, guys, I expect this sort of gaffe by general media, not you. Otherwise, it’s another great publication. Bill Besarick via email EDITOR’S NOTE: The headline should have read “Another crankshaft recall for Lycoming.”

In your July 22 column, “To Save Our Airports,” you imply that the U.S. Chamber of Commerce supports increased funding for airport infrastructure only where there is national or regional airline service. In fact, the chamber supports funding for a modernized infrastructure capable of handling greater volumes of ALL types of aviation — general aviation […]

Great article on saving our airports. However, I went to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce website and they have nothing about their initiative to help GA, unless I missed it, and I couldn’t find any link on your site either. My chamber is interested in being a part of this, but I need more information […]

After reading the letter “Training better, happier pilots,” (July issue), I thought that I would drop you a quick e-mail to tell you about a most enjoyable experience I had. I took my first aerobatic training this weekend with Greg Koontz. His knowledge and experience of aerobatics make a great combination for the perfect learning […]

I received the newest issue of GANews the other day and came across the article Meg Godlewski wrote about my Scintilla Magneto Switch (Do you recognize these parts? July 22 issue). I sure want to thank you for putting it in GANews. You did an excellent, excellent job on it. A superb write up! Thanks again […]
