Default If GA is down, why aren't used aircraft prices?

Dunno which stats you're looking at, but prices *have* dropped,

Like I said... not very scientific, just thumbing through Aero Trader,
Controller and Trade-A-Plane.

It is true that I've been paying special attention to 150's and 172's,
maybe those are experiencing a boom market... I can tell you for sure that
150 prices have been rising very regularly.

I've got a stock that was worth $20,000 in 2005, about the same as a 150 in
2005. Now that stock is worth $25,000 and well outfitted 150's have gone
up to $26,000.

I should have invested in 150's for a better rate of return. :-)
