FLYING Magazine holds a special place in the world of general and business aviation. It has been the voice of aviation since Lindbergh departed Rossevelt Field, NY for his historic cross-Atlantic, non-stop flight to Paris in 1927. That was 80 years ago and the magazine's title was Popular Aviation. The brand FLYING was born 16 years later, introduced on the May 1943 cover.
FLYING's mission is to inform, educate and entertain pilots and would-be pilots who use aviation for both personal and business transportation.
The magazine offers authoritative, upscale editorial written from first-hand experience by the most qualified aviation writing staff in aviation publishing; from learning to fly, flying tips and techniques, from small single engine aircraft to the mighty corporate jets, FLYING is read worldwide by the majority of the most active pilots and aircraft owners in aviation.
