GA flying is way down in the southeast.

It's down here, too. Our last fly-in guest at our aviation themed hotel was
a week ago. Normally we see a dramatic up-tick in fly-in guests in April,
but not so far this year.

Part of this decline is due to the awful spring weather we've had -- much
colder than normal, with higher than normal precip -- but it's also because
people just aren't flying as much. Most of the flying I'm seeing at our
airport is pattern work, probably folks just trying to stay current without
spending too much money.

Probably because people know you're flying around with your eyes on your
nintendo set and your head up your ass.
