I would like to see planes that more people can afford to keep....


They actually did that one year. They fixed up a TriPacer and threw in $10,000
cash for the taxes.

The main thing is that AOPA isn't doing this mainly to give one of the members a
plane. They do it mainly so that they can produce articles all year long about
fixing it up. If they stuck to fixing up low cost aircraft and including some
cash, the organization wouldn't get as much bang for the buck.

Now, let's say that AOPA fixed up a nice TriPacer again and I won it. I'd sell
that one just because I already have a better aircraft IMO.
