Looking back in time. by
birdog[_2_]
I've been reading down through the comments, and decided to day-dream a
little. I'm 84, lost my medical in 1980. So I'm behind the curve to a large
extent when it comes to the cost of flying.
In the mid- '50's, 6 of us started a flying club with a 1949 7AC Champ. Paid
$1200 for it, 700 hour...

A GAMA document on the historical price of airplanes by
Jim Logajan
I was pretty sure that I'd seen somewhere that the price of typical
general aviation airplanes were, relative to median annual income, about
the same ratio as they had always been. I'm still not sure whether that
is true, but according to GAMA, another number, the historical price of
4 seat entry...

Airplane prices are ridiculous, Pt.2 by
Mark
Within any given economy you will find
these two: 1) Price takers and 2) Price

Price takers are the sellers who must charge
within a specific range due to supply and
demand. Their prices will be set to be
compatible with the other sellers or else the
buyers will simply go to a...

Jim Pennino or...Jim Pinheado? by

There is a poster here called Jim Pennino, but in

Vernier throttle cables by
n9723x
I'm still flying my old C210B around that has a vernier throttle
cable. It's time to replace it, and it seems I can only find a
friction lock cable to replace it with. The dealer said that the FAA
"outlawed" vernier throttle cales due to safety reasons.. Is this
true????
