Manx register...Huh?

Yes, and we had the people who run it come to the flying club to discuss
what it meant for us at the bottom end of the aviation food chain.

I had to pinch myself several times during the meeting to make sure I
wasn't dreaming it. I've never known an aviation authority prepared to
be so willing to help. The guy in charge and his airworthiness bod came
down, and both of them exuded enthusiasm for our kind of flying from
every pore - both extremely knowledgable not just about the high end
bizjets they are trying to attract, but also those of us who stooge
along at 2000 feet in 60 year old aircraft. Such a breath of fresh air.

As a consequence, most of the people with US registered aircraft here
are likely to move to the M-reg as well as those with G-reg aircraft.
