>The main thing that made general aviation a far less accessible proposition
Meh, where I live, what made general aviation inaccessible is the fact that boomers and geriatrics have filled basically every airfield parking lot with planes they are keeping indefinitely in storage.
The only ones using the planes are the guys able to pay for the private corp owned hangers
>That’s why a new Cessna 172 is three-quarters of a million dollars.
There are people bypassing this for "recreational" level flying by simply using the experimental labeling on planes
