it get to this? How could someone let their plane die this way?"

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.
Then "jgrove" ought to be a big supporter of GA.
I prefer the kosher wines with dinner. Burning and ihhaling any kinds of leaves is just asking for the big "C".
