months, it became a good cure for insomnia.

Isn't this true of GA in general? With the exception of Experimental
aircraft. For certified GA aicraft it's the same old stuff. In the
flying mags, the same articles: engine heat and deicing in the
winter. Thunderstorm avoidance and high density altitude flying in
summer. Test flight of some multi-million dollar twin turbine no hobby
flyer would ever consider.

I find the builders' world the most interesting. Not EAA, because that
includes too many observers, antique stuff, frivilous side shows. No,
people who are creating new airplanes, trying new gadgets, that's where
the excitement still is.

A friend said GA is like an onion. On the outside you have people who
drive by the small airport and wonder what millionaires fly those
things. Then you have the people who have taken a few lessons and
dropped out. Then the pilots who fly rented spam-cans. Then the airplane
owners. Then the kit-builders. Then the plans builders. Deeper to the
core is the action.
