I stumbled across this last night:

Nice plane when I owned it, but know nothing of its last 40+ years of history.
Obviously not Light Sport, but an option for those who might qualify for BasicMed.

You are wrong. A well maintained airplane is not like an old car sitting on blocks in your backyard. Also, aerodynamics has not changed much since Orville and Wilbur. There are few, if any, advances in the newest LSA vs aircraft produced 60 years ago. Glass panels are simply another way to present the same information except for GPS. GPS is available on your phone. Just because we all have a preference, we don't need to criticize the alternatives, especially if we have little or no experience with the alternative. That is what's wrong with this country now.Warmi wrote:That plane is older than me .... it seems like it would be a money pit to maintain such old, certified plane.
