It's not the purported "disappearance" of the middle class that has
affected GA. People have more reay cash than ever for luxury items. The
insurance companies have killed off the flight schools and rentals in all
but the most prosperous locations. The general liabilityconsciosness of
our society has affected mentalities, and the fuel crunch has done the
rest.

I wish I could believe otherwise, but I think it is an unrcoverable flat
spin. . .
