Pilot has published the occasional letter asking for more humour in the magazine. The cartoon series in 'Air Mail', 'Chicken Wings', is obviously written to be funny. I think it is - every so often one gets me laughing out loud. However, humour is notoriously subjective: what amuses one person leaves another cold.
I think that they're funny, and i found myself laughing at the Augusta 109 Grand review by Pat Malone. If there was more humour, it wouldn't be a bad thing. But in a society where P.C rules, anyone can be left cold by the most mildest jokes...
What a lot of people are forgetting is that behind the legislation, the cost, the constant all-out war against the CAA (they started it...)and the group of people who are intent on grumbling about everything, the reason for most of GA is simply ENJOYMENT! Of course Pilot should have humour; without it we risk forgetting the true point of flying.
I think that 'Chicken Wings' is great; more of this please!
