This March 1988 issue of Plane & Pilot captures a late-1980s general aviation market still tied to piston aircraft but increasingly shaped by new avionics, flight-planning software, and specialty ownership stories. The issue’s cover feature, “The Ghost From MiG Alley,” looks at the only flying MiG-15 then on the North American air show circuit, while other articles cover the Piper Comanche 400, new Loran navigation equipment, autogas use, FBO insurance fine print, winter flying judgment, and weather-related safety. The magazine also includes period advertising for Porsche aircraft engines, flight-planning programs, and aftermarket aviation equipment, giving the issue added value as a snapshot of aviation technology and pilot concerns in 1988. A useful buy for collectors of vintage aviation magazines, pilots interested in pre-GPS navigation history, or anyone drawn to Cold War aircraft and 1980s general aviation culture.

Includes:

• Autogas Update
• Muscle Planes
• Renters Beware : FBO Insurance Fine Print
• Finance : Those Fabulous Portable Hangers
• Run-Up Block : Ice Station Nowhere - Escape plan for Winter Flying
