It seems to me that more people build aircraft up north than they do down
south... There's probably a couple of reasons for it... Perhaps having
winters that don't give you that many flying days might be a factor along
with having basements to do a good part of the building process in might
also be another factor...

Good theories.

There have been quite a number of books written about why the world's
dominant, most productive and innovative civilizations (at least in the last
several hundred years) have all been in colder climates.

I always figured it's because they had to stay busy to keep warm.

("Jeez, Fritz, it's really *cold* out today." "Brrrr....sure is,
Hans...hey, let's go conquer France!")

So, 500 years ago, these guys would've been out pillaging nearby villages.
Today, they're building RV-10s...?
