The used market is already projected to go in the toilet very shortly.
Prices
are starting to drop. A repeat of the 80s when stuff sold for a fraction of
it's previous value. High fuel prices. People are losing on investments and
having to sell off or not buy planes to replace those dollars. People are
going
to lose a lot on their planes.

As posted here already, the UK government is proposing evicting its
foreign registered GA aircraft:

Most of these are N-reg, and many would end up on the U.S. market,
within a short time of each other. To retain worldwide IFR privileges
the pilots would have to do the European IR and my view is that most
would not find the time to work through the ground school. They would
thus lose their European IFR privileges and many would sell up.

If this action does succeed, other European countries are likely to
follow in a wholesale eviction of mainly US-registered aircraft.

I just wonder what would happen to the used aircraft market, if it saw
the arrival of that many aeroplanes; a mixture of piston singles and
twins, turboprops and some jets. Most would not be old Pipers and
Cessnas.
