Default Some more positive GA News

We have six seats as well (light twin), but only two people needed to go
on
this trip which is typical of most of our trips (1 or 2 people). We have
considered getting a fast single, but we also occasionally need the
load-carrying capacity, room, and speed of a light twin.


Sadly, light twins have nearly become economically unfeasible for anything
but multi-engine training. Between acquisition, fuel, and maintenance
expenses, they've been driven to near extinction.

The new plane market and resale values reflect that. A friend of mine owns
a beautiful Aerostar that has lost 50% of its value in just the last few
years. Every time fuel goes up, the price of twins go down.
