21st Century Grumman Tiger in South Florida

Just the retreads.

The people that are investing in new airframes need our support. Next time
you here some so and so throw out a cute remark about how nothing was or
will ever be better than a "blank", just smack them. They are trying to
sound old and wise and cool, but they are killing GA.

If the plane you always wanted is now being made new, and you want one, then
buy it. But don't go around saying people are stupid for buying one of the
new planes. I am tired of hearing it from people who don't know I have one.

Mostly, its old FBO guys who start eating their words when they realize they
just PO'd a likely customer. They also get dumb looks on their faces when I
point out that their business has never grown because they NEVER changed it.
Can anyone point out an industry with less change that has grown?

Believe it or not, there have been advances in everything except aviation
for the last forty years. The first really new piston designs since the
sixties are now out, and many of them ARE superior.

I will get off the stump now, thanks.

one when you can find nice used ones with exactly the same performance

a third of that.

Yes, but isn't that true of all the new planes?
