GA Flying Down 20%

Well most of the LSAs out there only burn 4 to 6 gph of auto gas. Sun n Fun
was jammed full of LSAs this year.


Have a good day and stay out of the trees!

I don't think the Military had active duty piston engine aircrafts in
the 1980s. It was all GA.


If not? Holy moley...GA really is dead.


If ethanol-compatible mogas burning LSAs don't catch on in the next
few years, then you're right. Piston powered GA doesn't have much
future left. I consider myself the last generation of piston GA
flyers, and I'm putting 200hr a year right now on my mogas burning
Grumman to catch some last epic flying. One day I'll probably hang up
my wings, at least I'll have a thousand or two hours of flying memory
to remember.
