RST,

Warbirds, you are not welcome at Oshkosh.


Great idea. GA is small enough to be threatened from all sides, so we
should definitely start the in-fighting and make it even smaller by
ourselves. Yep. Sounds great. For the airlines.

Who wants warbirds?! Warbirds aren't relevant anymore. Nobody cares
about warbirds. That's why everybody must go to Chino's Planes of Fame, the
Boeing Museum of Flight, the McMinnville Air Museum, Duxford, etc to look at
the Citations and Pipers parked over in the GA side...

It ain't a Lancaster or a Flying Fortress they want to see. It's the new
Cessna....

(If I want to look at a bunch of people's private airplanes, I'll save my
money and hang out at the FBO.)

Gatt,

I agree with you.

It's the new
Cessna....

There was no new Cessna. There was a "proof of concept". Google
"vaporware"...

Yep. As I said: a "proof of concept" in Cessna's own words.

You said vaporware - vaporware doesn't fly, maybe a vaporplane...

Something flew, yes. Was it a product from Cessna? Hardly.

Vaporware in my book is something you demo to great effect but with
nothing even remotely approaching a finished product in sight, let
alone a firm date for a finished product "on the shelves". Often, the
purpose is to keep the impressed masses from buying an available
product from the competition while playing catch-up with that
competition after you have badly dropped the ball.

IMHO, what Cessna did qualifies fully and in all aspects.

I think many would disagree with your definition.

Vaporware to most, is a plan, some nice specifications, and some 3-D cad
pictures. Have the computer crash, and what do you have to show for your
airplane? Nothing. Vapor!
