Well, I'm sad to report that I won't be going, as I have just sold the
CheckerBird earlier this week and I am now planeless.


Augh! The CheckerBird is no more in the hands of a Usenet aficionado?
This is not right!

You had best get this pre-solo new owner onto the rec.aviation track,
pronto...

And you're now planeless? Wondering what to build? What is this strange
malady that seems to be sweeping aviation -- I know two other former owners
that are currently in the same boat!

I have noticed this trend too and I was wondering if it was because
values are up recently and owners are seeing an opportunity to sell, or
if it's an indication of a lot of planes on the market meaning an
opportunity to buy, or if it's just a coincidence. I guess when it
comes to economics you can read anything into anything
