you also have a population of 250 or 300 million. Do you want to say
that
every
other nation with a smaller population is also irrelevant? Man, you are
so
ignorant.

Did you even READ my post, Martin? Man, you are SO ignorant.

;-)

Apparently not, so I will sum up.

It's the relative PROPORTION of pilots, aircraft, and airports that is
out
of whack in France. If aviation weren't dead in France, they should
have
the same PROPORTION of pilots, aircraft and airports as the US.


Math is not your strong subject is it Jay? If aviation in France was dead
then the proportion of pilots is irrelevant. The statement you made at the
start of this debate was that the incontrovertible truth was that GA in
France was dead. That is just not true.

There is no logical reason why there should be the same proportion of
pilots
aircraft and airports as in the US.

That would assume the same population make up, the same cultural make up,
the same everything. Well, buddy, France and the US are not the same. This
may come as a bit of a shock to you but they are different. Hence
different
approaches to aviation.


If you believe GA is in good shape in France and other parts of the EU go to
the AOPA WEB site and read about the new liability insurance requirements
the EU has placed on GA aircraft. $119 million in liability insurance
required for a 182. Doesn't sound healthy to me.
