GA on the decline? Absolutely. GA making adjustments to thwart that


decline. Hardly. The best/worst example is the Sport Pilot debacle and


the supposed emergence of "inexpensive" LSA. The LSA has gained some


ground with geezers who have flunked their medicals but driven a


resurgence of GA? Give me a break.




GA dead? NO. Dying? Like an octogenarian, it's only a matter of time.




Golly, Tom, do you live in GA the same as MU? lol

Golly Acey I haven't lived in Georgia since 2005. *LOL*




Please keep up like a good demon-troll should.




Regardless of whether GA is in GA or in CA or FL or The Isle Of Wight,

it's dying.



The so-called inexpensive LSA new is typically over $100,000 with

extensive maintenance, fuel and other associated costs. Then with your

crappy Sport Pilot license, you can fly in circles, daylight and good

weather only and enjoy $300 hamburgers.


Sports cheerleaders also need the eyeballs to fly the "imports" from down Mexico and points south to "customers" in El Norte.
