I have been a member of the UK's Light Aviation Association (LAA) for almost a decade now, and here is an example why. This month's Light Aviation magazine cover's story is about...affordable flying. Vintage ragwings, homebuilts, you name it. OK, the 20k is in pounds sterling, so more like $25k USD, but still. When's the last time EAA's Sport Aviation magazine put that kind of focus on affordable flying? Link to the article, available free even to non-members, is below.
