Australian Flying July-August 2022 is now the general aviation magazine to have in your hand. This issue we've presented a wide range of subjects both informative and interesting for you to digest. From flying for the RFDS and the potential of Group G to formation flying and the best panel-mount radios to have. Jim Davis is back with a yarn about times flying didn't happen and we put the Beechcraft Society under the microscope. Covering it all is a pic of the amazing JMB Evolution 915 pocket rocket. Here's how it all pans out.

7 Good Reasons
Flying formations is not just a lot of fun, it also hones pilots’ skills in other areas. Angela at Avalon goes into the science of formation flying and how much the skills are translated to everyday piloting.
Polishing the Skills
Every two year the Australian Beechcraft Society conducts its Pilot Proficiency Program, widely regarded as the leading PPP in the country. Steve Hitchen went to Cowra to check out this year’s event and learn why it is the template that other brands work from.
