I'm willing to bet that you are not an airplane owner :-)

I'd be more inclined to bet that he doesn't talk to many aircraft owners
or hang
around airports much. Anyone who's seen someone polishing the bugs off his
old Cessna
140 after a flight knows better.

Somehow, the thread that ran recently about how out-of-date the vintage
aircraft (pre 90's??) are compared to the new generation (i.e., Cirrus)
comes to mind.
