I was digging around in a new / old Sport aviation magazine collection
Guess what are the hot topics in the late 60's early 70's.
User fees, Turbine aircraft tax, Congress saying GA does not pay their dues, skyrocketing cost of aviation, High fuel costs, low cost engines, VW conversions, Jim Bede is in every issue as the poster child. FAA reorganization, outdated airtraffic control, new ELT's, New composite airplanes, division between low cost aviation and high performance GA.
Sound familiar. This was almost 40 years ago.
LSA has replaced the Jim Bede for hot news in every issue but the rest sounds exactly the same. Plane performance claims and hopes of many are the same.
I had to look to see if I had the magazine date wrong. |
