Q2 2022 Issue Backissue

From the care and feeding of warbirds to the latest evolution of the EMB-550 series, in this edition of FLYING, we explore the two extremes—and take you back to the basics of flight with a visit to Chilhowee Gliderport—as columnist Sam Weigel describes the process of getting a glider rating.

We also showcase the pros and cons of the Piper Tomahawk, and address its unique flight characteristics. Looking for another airport for your fly-in bucket list? FLYING editor-at-large Pia Bergqvist suggests “The Airport in the Sky”—Catalina Island (KAVX).

Peter Garrison writes about the undying value of old aircraft, while also addressing some hazards to watch out for when investing in older models; and Meg Godlewski focuses on the all-important topic of setting (and abiding by) personal weather minimums.

Included in this issue is a special Modern Flying update, which highlights the big players in the electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) market and how close (or far) these manufacturers are from making this new aircraft type a reality.
