Proponents of scaling back general aviation (for whatever reason, ie environmental, security, etc) will only secure more victories, and the government will only grow in its control over GA. When considered, GA restrictions / regulations are remarkably similar in a way to firearm possession restrictions and confiscation in European countries, and both of these trends will only continue. In 50 years it will likely be too expensive for an average person to learn to fly and have a meaningful hobby. You’re right Mr. Haines, go flying and collect stories to tell your children.
