Default for the hangar queens

Geez....at least those are being shared with the public so someone else
can enjoy them.

I know of a number of aircraft that people have "Collected" and never
fly, a couple Pliatus B4's that are virtually brand new with maybe 50
hours.......they will die from corrosion before they ever make 100
hours.

Its truly sad and I think all the old ships should be brought to the
table so us new owners can progress through some cool ships and not
have to trade 1-26's until we hit the jackpot and make the jump from
under $10,000 to the $30,000 + ships.

There is a real gap in the 10k to 30k range. Those 1-35's fit the bill
though although I can get 1-35 performance in my HP-11 for half the
cost and look out through the top of the canopy with the 90 degree
flaps just as well.

Thats my under 10k dollars worth.
