Default Cessna LSA -- Good Luck if you want one

I, for one, wish them all the luck in the world. We desperately need a
modern training airplane that will bring in new blood to aviation, and this
one might be it. I swear that I've been the youngest guy in my EAA chapter
and at my home field (home to 100+ airplanes) for nearly 15 years. I'm
42...

The lack of new pilots is going to bring on the end of GA, or at least the
portion of GA that flies behind a propeller.

Cessna is rationing their LSA very strictly. Each dealer gets exactly one!
If you want a Cessna LSA you AND your dealer, apparently, have to go to
Oshkosh with a $10,000 deposit one week before the show and meet with a
Cessna representative. There are no hotel rooms available and Cessna will
not provide you with one, so you are on your own there. Cessna says the
LSA will be less than $100,000.

For your deposit you get on a list for delivery, perhaps in 2008.
