I'd rather explain this by the fact that there is *finally* something on
the market to replace the vintage WWII fleet of Pipers and Cessnas.

Well, they're not quite *that* old. Most of the US training fleet
Pipers and Cessnas were built between 1960 and 1975. Try calling them
the "vintage Viet Nam fleet"...

Does anyone still subscribe to "Flight Training"? I seem to remember
them publishing the "student starts" each month -- but I have no idea
where they got that info.
