Eventually hobby flight will be squeezed out of existence. Just as nobody is
really driving tractor-trailer rigs for fun, or driving trains for fun,
eventually there will be nobody flying for fun.

Or submarines or earth movers...

Illogical babble.


There is a difference between riding/driving/flying a vehicle made for
1,2,3, or 4 and driving a vehicle capable of carrying ten tons.
No doubt about it.
Abolish the cycle, motorbike, motorbike and sidecar, the car,
the row-boat, the bass-boat, the sail-boat?
I don't think so.

But there is something about light aircraft that connects with the
public fear of more hundred ton vehicles demolishing people and places...
Now THAT'S illogical!
