• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Im Concerned ...

Something not being discussed is culture.

There are plenty of people with the means to get into general aviation that have no desire or inclination to do so, and in many instances, when they do get interested they're often interested in the small, higher performance aircraft. Flying just doesn't capture the imagination the way it used to; the heroes, interests and priorities of newer generations are totally different. When most folks around here were kids "a pilot" was probably up at the top of the list of what kids wanted to be when they grew up. It's not like that any more.

Add to that, there is a wealth of used aircraft out there.
 
One thing's for sure. I doubt they'll bring back my favorite Beech, the Model 18.
 
Nope....Beech 18, airplane from another era...when fuel was cheap and pilots cheaper....and their women....well.......

I can't help but wonder about Textron's position regarding licensing their stuff for the sims. I could see them carry that over to the Beechcraft products.

I had not thought of that, but yes, Textron has a history of requiring the purchase of licenses before the release of any sort of model or representation of anything made by a company owned by Textron.
