Ben Chiu Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: 2. "RE:Where's Microwings?" 03-11-02, 18:38z  Thanks for posting this, Jerry. It seems Robert Ferraro has cornered the FS mag business. I can't help but wonder how long they'll continue as separate magazines. It'd probably make sense just to combine them all into one "super" magazine.

I'm thinking we need to take him up on his offer of free subscriptions before he forgets that he made the offer. Has anyone contacted him after my initial contact? ***Reality - the refuge of those who can't handle simulation*** Cheers, Jerry (N94) 18.8NM W of KMDT on 271.2 radial. **** VPC OffLine Reader Version 3.0.3.0 **** BETA 2 **** **** OLR.PL Build 1.72 **** Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

RickLee Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: 5. "RE: Where's Microwings?" 03-30-02, 06:50z  I haven't been around in a while and I'm just now catching up on messages. I was surprised but not shocked to see that PCAviator is picking up the pieces from MicroWings. I have been getting Computer Pilot Magazine for years and it's great. I was surprised to see that PC Aviator is in South Carolina. I hadn't been paying attention and I just assumed that the editorial stuff was all still in Australia. Does anyone know if Robert Ferarro is living in South Carolina? (Murrells Inlet SC is just south of Myrtle Beach) I get down that way occasionally. I haven't seen Robert in a coon's age.

Please let him in on what we've got here when you see him.
