Imran K. 0 Report post Posted March 21, 2006 (edited) Hmm...interesting idea... I'd like to see a list of rego's of aircrafts operated by different airlines around the world. A centrespread poster would also be fabulous (a la Airliner World) Edited March 21, 2006 by Imran K. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kelvin B 0 Report post Posted March 22, 2006 Hi Liam, I would like to see these. Spotting locations around the world. Stories / highlights from this forum. For example, we have a great writer in SQ.... Top 10 spotting photos of the month. Camera / spotting tips. Model reviews / releases / member's collections. I guess we should have some aviation news as well... . Cheers Kelvin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seth K 3 Report post Posted March 22, 2006 Some political cartoons(mostly bashing Airbus ) Advertisements are OK too~! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sandeep G 1 Report post Posted March 22, 2006 Some good feedback here Gibby, thanks for getting the ball rolling, stuck at uni again hehehehe Seth K, the newsletter is for internal circulation only. However, may I also moot the idea that MW.com members are able to share their professions and advertise their respective companies through the newsletter.. sort of like a "classified" section. - Sandeep Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Min Chun 0 Report post Posted March 22, 2006 Good idea there. Would like to see 'Top 10 spotting photos of the month' as what Kevin has said.. Weekly updating of MWs website should be concluded too. Sure, aviation news! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peter Smith 1 Report post Posted March 22, 2006 Some good feedback here Gibby, thanks for getting the ball rolling, stuck at uni again hehehehe No worries nerd Some of the idea's i'm really liking, and some just arent realistic in the sense of a Newsletter, we're not running a magazine here! - Top 10 photos for sure, perhaps someone would be kind in starting the thread with you favourite shot of the past 3 months perhaps. However before we start getting into fights, it is of course not possible for every member to include a picture, so some criteria would need to be drawn up. We won't choose based on quality, we'd be looking at rarity (and also variety from around the globe), and other qualities like that, not whether you have an EOS 1D. - Spotting Lists for sure! - Stories, Trip reports, maybe we can have a "Pilot of the Quarter?," "Life as an F/A," "Rampside"... - Model's, new releases, your collections - important dates Keep the ideas coming fella's Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Azuddin 1 Report post Posted March 22, 2006 how about some News on new relased models Spotting guide to worldwide airport, (outside malaysia) collectors stories (maybe something like interview) award received by airline company MW merchandise members stories members pictures flight simmers I don't know about you guys, but i think it's a good idea. why not release MW yearbook. the inside will contents infos about local airines, pilot stories (most of us here is pilot), collectors stories, simulators tip and downloads link, with some page containing members pictures on the back. also, include some highlighted event of the year. not to forget to make some gallery pages for spotting pict, candid photos, also some blank pages for signatures we are worldwide, why not. a yearbook would be like 300 to 400 pages. if you release it, i would buy it if you sell it for RM200. Azuddin Guys dont forget buy and sell collumn. it that okay? -cheers- as a model hunter, i agree with meor. "I wanna buy what you sell" Azuddin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
