GI Bill?


Probably not, but that was the best thing ever to happen to general
aviation.

No lie. The GI bill was the ONLY reason the 200HP versions of the Cessna
Cardinal RG, Piper Arrow, and Beech Sierra were ever built. To satisfy the
training requirements of the GI bill.

Thousands were sold on that basis, mostly to unsuspecting leaseback owners.

However, very few of the GI bill students ever became professional pilots.
Most got their ratings and already had a "good" job. Look at the poor
suckers who went into the airlines for a "career." Have you EVER seen a
happy airline pilot?
