 "IT'S ALL OVER RED-ROVER" - DESPATCH FROM THE HOME FRONT USA 


The Editor-in-Chief of USA's Aero-News.net - Jim Campbell - has posted a scathing report on the health of the light aircraft industry in his country and it's not what most of us who are involved with light aircraft want to hear..


Quote:- "Aviation is too expensive ..and too exclusive, too complex, too dangerous, too misunderstood, too great a target for the legal community (see "too expensive") populated by too many scam artists, poorly represented by (many of, but not all) those who claim to be trying to help it, and firmly grounded in ancient, myopic, counter-productive thought processes"

"OK ..let's get something clear right from the start -- GA (as we once knew it) 
Is Dead"





"The wondrous world of sport and general aviation that we grew up with - and worked and played in - is no longer sustainable as we know it"





"And if it isn't truly dead it's certainly on life support with a "Do-Not-Resuscitate" tag on its toe"
