The Aviation Week archive is now online. You need to sign up to gain access; I had to try with two different email addresses. Part of the process is they send you an email you have to click on to finish the registration process; the first address never got the email, the second got it in seconds. Shrug.
Not that it’s not the *complete* archive. There are still a number of issues missing… perhaps unsurprisingly, one specific issue from the 1980’s I went looking for isn’t there. Presumably it’ll show up eventually. But even so… there is a productivity-destroying amount of stuff available. At least in some cases the online images are higher resolution than the best scans from actual issues of the magazine.
