Had this conversation recently with a patient who is a pilot but not
flying due to money issues... I floated the thought that we are headed
back to the 30's where airplanes (real airplanes, not self loading
cattle haulers) will be an unusual sight...

Yep, it's already happening. Our flight of two last night represented the
only aircraft flying at Muscatine Muni, on a picture-perfect gorgeous spring
evening.

Iowa City was somewhat busier, with four of us arriving in the pattern at
sunset, but that's always a good time to watch traffic, with everyone trying
to get down before darkness sets in.

It's getting harder to enjoy the warm afterglow of a flight well-done.
