Back in 1998 when I got my rating, rec.aviation.ifr was beaming with
activities. There were at least a dozen new threads getting posted
every day.

Where is everybody? I know GA flying is down but the traffic drop in
r.a.ifr is a lot worse than say r.a.piloting. Maybe we all became
dumber after a decade of IFR flying with GPS?


Everytime I ask a question on this group I get an amazingly nasty
response, and often, the new favorite insult is to accuse people of
being flight simulator pilots (vs. real).

When I fly, I run into people who are nicer than average (I just got
invited to a nice tour of a facility where they were rebuilding
ex-military jets the other weekend).

What goes on here, I have no clue for.
