AVWeb says this is going to be a record year for general aviation.

That's measuring the dollar value of new aircraft sales.

Look at the numbers, and you'll see that sales are a tiny fraction of
what they were in the 1970s.

Maybe if the prices were lower, more aircraft would be sold.

But I suppose airplane manufacterers care about total income, not the number
of aircraft sold.

I guess you just have to be even more rich now to fly than in the past.

Gee, why didn't they think of that? Just make the planes cheaper to make and
they'll sell more!
