Goodbye "Skydiving Magazine"?
Can't Post
I received this today:
"Hi, April --
We have suspended the magazine -- indefinitely. January was our last issue.
Mike has been publishing the magazine for about 30 years and I have been here for more than 22 years, so we are both looking forward to exploring new options -- and maybe taking a little down time.
It's been nice working with you, April. Thanks for your support.

Wow, I was just about to renew. I'm shocked. Despite the digital age, you can't beat paper in your hand. Plus the world-wide coverage of skydiving and BASE that couldn't be found elsewhere. Shame.
That's a shame - I subscribed for a year and enjoyed it so much that I re-upped for three years. Although the coverage could sometimes border on gossipy, it was nice to have an alternative viewpoint to Parachutist. It will be missed.
That sucks. It took me 10 years of jumping to subscribe and they shut down a few months later. Maybe they'll sell to someone that wants to keep it going...
All of his planes or just the Casa 212s? I had heard a rumor that he was going to sell the Casas to Blackwater, but I didn't know if it was real or just a rumor.
This really does suck. The magazine was awesome. I have boxes of the magazine right from the second issue to a couple of months ago and now it is over. I hope they bring it back or something similar comes about.
Noooooooo! I was probably one of the few people who did a 10 year subscription and I was about to re-up it again. By far and away my favorite magazine that I always look forward to. Damn damn damn.
