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".


Your brain is already rotted -- being a complete jerk by trying to close
airports. What happened to you?

Fail a checkride?
Were you so incompetent that you couldn't fly a plane safely?
