: The walk to the Louvre from the museum's parking lot is extremely short. But what if the weather is bad or there is low visibility? ![]() Seriously, though. I can't walk to any museums from my house. Yet I find walking to be a valid mode of transportation. That does seem to be a useful range for GA. Of course, it doesn't come remotely close to justifying GA for transportation, but if one already has a license and an aircraft, why not? It justifies it for me. I can't speak for the rest of the world. But when you make a claim with anti-GA undercurrents that is based on opinions that have been founded in something other than fact, you can expect me to respond harshly, and I would consider that quite on topic. Looking at general aviation objectively, it's extremely difficult to see any real transportation value to it, except for certain specific circumstances (heavy, short-range business travel, and some other purposes). I don't believe either of us are looking at it objectively. But it serves my purposes quite well, and I appreciate the value that it offers me. Just because it doesn't present value for you doesn't mean it has no value. Evidence would suggest that GA presents value to some number of people in the world, because there are many people, both pilots and otherwise, that use General Aviation as a form of transportation. If there is no value in it, they wouldn't use it. One man's trash is another man's treasure... |
