Are half century old airplanes still viable machines? It sounds scary

And remember, when you start looking at fuel burns most people don't look
at gas mileage, only how much an airplane can burn. Then inevitably they
pick something like a 172, 182 or a Cherokee that are inefficient. They
have their missions but cross country isn't one they're good at.

Yeh

C182. Just a terrible cross country machine.

Sometimes Usenet just astounds me.
