Re: [AMC-list] The Beginning of the end of a 60 year era?

Bruce,

A similar thing is happening in the private pilot community.  Many of us 
recreational pilots earned our licenses long ago when flying was relatively 
cheap and it was still exciting to lots of youth.
Now, we are older, flying is more expensive, and the "youth" only want to be 
involved if they have a career goal that involves aviation.  And there aren't 
that many of those kids.   The marketability of
the older planes will decrease over the next 20 years and many will be scrapped 
because of lack of demand and lack of willingness to sacrifice to include 
aviation in the lifestyle.

I see this very thing in my shop all the time. VERY few young cubs wanting
to modify engines. I can remember working 60 hour weeks in a "speed shop"
when I was 16,, and I LIKED it!! When they close the shop I run now there is
no one waiting to take it over. All done and closed for good. Shame,,,
