I poste this video in RAH, thn thought some in RAP might find it
iteresing. That second plane looks a lot like the bumblebee, maybe
even smaller. Would any of you fly it?

I do love those old 1950's era newsreels, especially about
aviation. They seem so full of optimism and enthusiasm for
general aviation... there seemed to be so much promise.
Sort of bittersweet to see not only how far we've come but
what it cost. Today its Big Green Government... they've
taken over every free endeavor including general aviation.

"If you can't tax it then regulate it, if you can't regulate it
then file a lawsuit against it."


Nah, there's more going on in GA than there has been for years. LSA's, high
performance machines like the RVs, and homebuilts in space!

maybe, but its not really promoted in the media. And Lord help
you if somebody gets hurt, theres an army of lawyers waiting
to cash in.
