An interesting study would be the liability insurance burden of

cost of an airplane built in 1974 and one built in 2008.

But there has to be a cost reduction factor as well, due to
increased
efficiency in all aspects of production.

Well, we're still flying the same airplanes for the most part!

I think theyre mor expensive to buy new as well..

True! The majority of SEL available to rent in 2008 are pre 1980
vintage.

Though I can't complain about that, as I fly a 1947 Straight 35 (V
tail) from time to time.

How much is a new 172 today? $250k? It would have to cost $60k in
1975
to be equivalent.

I don't think they were even near that much. Probably about half
that.
Maybe a bit more.

About $235k stock and over $250k if you add a/c



Were. As in 1975
