Responding recently to a reader’s inquiry, I had to dig through the magazine archives. Along the way, I realized that this issue is a milestone of sorts.
Fun Flies When You’re Doing Time
The milestone of sorts that I discovered is that this issue marks my fifth anniversary at the helm of IFR. Now, in many views, thats simply not noteworthy. Other editors in the Belvoir Aviation family, like Jeb Burnside at Aviation Safety, have been at this for, well, a very long time indeed.
Key Takeaways:
- The author reflects on their fifth anniversary as editor of IFR magazine, using the milestone to review changes and constants in general aviation.
- Key advancements over the past five years include GPS becoming virtually mandatory and significant improvements in the accessibility and capabilities of simulator training.
- Unchanged aspects include the shrinking general aviation sector, recurring attempts to privatize air traffic control, and the magazine's ongoing mission to provide practical, engaging pilot information.
