Default Is general aviation dying?

What is the general status of GA activity around the country?


Down.

According to statistics kept by the FAA, the number of private pilots is
down from 299,000 to 236,000 and the average age of the pilots is rising.

The number of student pilots is down by about a third since 1990, from
129,000 to 88,000.

Excellent post.
I was that little kid too. Never had the offer of an "upclose" but didn't
matter to me at the time.
Now I still might occasionally park in the FBO lot fence eating my lunchtime
sammich when I'm on the road.
Alongside the other kids with their fingers in the fence.
