There is also the possibility that the new Light-Sport Aircraft
flooding the market have an influence on the market. There are over
100 LSA models available now and more coming everyday. Fun flying for
4 to 5 gph sure is nice when gas costs $3 to $4 a gallon. Looking at
statistics pilots fly less than 100 hours a year and carry one or less
passengers so the Light-Sport Aircraft can cover most of the fun
flying done today statistically. I'm not saying the LSAs are doing all
the flying just that they might be having an affect and growing.

Have a good day and stay out of the trees!

days,"

I have been watching the for sale adverts looking for a Decathlon, and seem
to note a LOT more aircraft than I remember being normal. I am not sure if
this situation has been developing for some time or if it is just a normal
seasonal thing. I cannot comment on the actual sale prices but the asking
prices do not seem to reflect the increased supply.

Comments?
