Agree with the plane market
I agree with the current airlane market. The reality is that there are fewer people learning to fly today than 30 years ago. This is even with the population being double what it was then. Let's be honest, it is expensive to fly and compared to just a few years ago, learning to fly is expensive as well. This is why the plane market is going down. The older people who can fly are gradually dropping out and there isn't a large group of young pilots. Also, a lot of people who have some cash would rather just jet share than have to bother with owning a plane.
Case in point is when we sold our 340A. It was loaded with upper mid time motors. Couldn't sell it. Finally dropped the price to where I thought I was giving it away. Then I turned around and did the same for the aerostar we purchased. I essentially traded planes and got some money back. I don't see a cahnge in the market, especially for older twins and maybe for most older singles.
I am not sure if others agree with this but this is my observation.
