Plus, they are younger than a 3 year old dog. Good eye, though.  | | | | | Joined: Nov 2006 Posts: 7,054 Likes: 99 Member/5000+posts! | | Member/5000+posts!

I rarely look anymore at ladies young enough to be my grand-daughters, if I had grand-daughters. | | | | | | Jared_Chursinoff Unregistered | | Jared_Chursinoff Unregistered | Enough with the ladies Guys! back to what really counts "Airplanes" LOL. You know its pretty scary when you see that. Its not the first time I have seen this. I seen 172’s as low as 20k here in Canada. With are Economy way it is, this could be the end of GA as we knew it!! Nobody these days can afford to fly, learn to fly nevermind owning. The ones that can afford it, have a hard time justiflying to themselves and the family why we spend more money in one year to keep this plane then a morgage. Never mind the more oppertinuiteis out there these days. What I feel is going to happen for the most part. Lets face it these planes are getting old, the engineers are getting old, most young guys dont have the proper training or dont care to learn are small birds. So by the time we are out of this "Depression", it be pretty much to late as most engineers would have passed on and the planes sitting on the ground will be beyound economy to bother even servicing. I hate to say this but I belive we are in the end of a "Era" of goodtimes in flying as we know it! Alaska will probably be the only acception, becasue Alaska is about flying- part of there life (Right Alaska folks??). Anyhow I hope Im 100% wrong but I feel I might be at least half right.  | | | | | Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 12,760 Member/10,000+ posts! | | Member/10,000+ posts!

Interesting perspective....additionally, the requirement to "re-register" the older planes will accelerate the decline of aviation. (opinion only - uninteded consequence of this law) When folks fail to repair planes like this and they become "un-airworthy" many will simply park them and see no reason to re-register them. Many airports will ask the owners to remove them from the field. (going to the scrapyard) I think we will see many planes like this "parted out" as an owner can get a lot more for individual parts than he/she could making it airworthy and then selling it for a loss.
