Welcome to Sporty's Air Facts Video Classics, which allows you to relive some of Richard L. Collins best aviation videos.
For over 50 years, pilots turned to Richard L. Collins for his unique perspective on the challenges and rewards of flying light aircraft. He started his career working with his father, Leighton Collins, at the original Air Facts magazine. He then went on to work for the leading aviation magazines, including as editor of both AOPA Pilot and Flying.
With over 20,000 hours of real-world experience, much of it in Cessna 172s and P210s, Collins wrote about safety, weather, and air traffic control from first-hand experience. He was the author of numerous books, including Logbooks, published in 2016 by Sporty’s Pilot Shop. Collins passed away in April, 2018.

I remember the original Air Facts (small) magazine, by Leighton Collins, Richard's father. So Richard had a very good start in the flying and publishing business.
