Actually, I believe old planes were among the earliest products to be recycled - once they started being made out of metal anyway. Sadly for today's restorers, far too many came out of the factory door and went straight to the scap metal dealer after WWII - but best not dwell on that one! Mike |

I would love to buy a new one at for the price of an old one.
Liability and labor cost cause the new planes to be many levels above my income level thus too high for my blood. |

I brag to my non-flying friends about watching the auto traffic passing me in my "new" plane. I also own another old plane that can fly farther and faster than the Cub, but it has no engine at all and is also obsolete by current standards (compare 1978 Schempp-Hirth Mini-Nimbus to 2006 ASG-29.) Don't confuse transportation with recreation. If you want to get there fast and on time, buy an airline ticket. They desperately need the business. Or buy something shiney and new and then throw it on the "old crap" heap so that people like me can enjoy it at your expense. Thanks, V7 N751DC & NC21486 |

fast and on time, buy an airline ticket. You had me nodding my head in agreement till you got to that line. Transportation and recreation can be the same thing! I've gone a lot of places in a Cherokee, including Alaska twice; and it's so much more fun than sitting a a giant tin can that I don't care if it takes eight times as long and costs five times as much. I'll admit, though, that a sailplane is not a very practical way to fly to Alaska. vince norris |
