An online magazine would be much less expensive, requiring very little advertising, if any. I'm also not sure if Australia still has Airborne magazine, of which I have at least a couple of years worth. Quite a good magazine, under the direction of Merv Buckmaster. My recollection is that the MAAA had a page or two in Airborne, just as AMA had some pages in AAM, prior to AAM going TANGO UTAH.

I had trouble getting the pages to a size that I could read, and then couldn't see the entire page or find a way to do so. Might have something to do with the metric software system, I suppose.  ;) ;) ;) Steve

I too just took a quick peek at the link provided. I found that it was small, but on the lower blue banner at the bottom of the page the last icon is an magnifying glass (zoom). I clicked on it and it went to a very readable size. Hope you can find it.

Yeah, I had found that. But then couldn't find a way to scroll down, so either I could read about 1/3 of a page or I could not read the whole page. There is also a slide bar scale thingy that shows up on center/bottom that works fairly ok, after clicking on the magnifying glass thingy. Still can't scroll up/down, but at least can go to the rest of the pages.  I'm thinking that it probably has not been proven out for all browsers, or maybe works for Metric Mac's but not so much for PC's?  D>K Steve

Just tried again on PC. Just click or drag the pages forward or back to your liking of page number. Works here on Windows 7 Home.

"Airborne" is still published, but has basically no CL content whatsoever any more.

I thought that was pretty cool that I could flip pages with the mouse or the direction arrows!  Just like a printed magazine!

I kept thinking,  it's summer down there in OZ.  Wouldn't that be great if I had warm weather like that? (still winter in OR)

It's also hot and humid in Hawaii, but I never turn down a chance to go there!

Nice looking location found it on Google Earth.
Only one question.
Where did you fly control line before 2004?
