What is going on? In the old days, such an important article would be featured.
Are people losing interest in PPRuNe? What a pity.
To be honest Dick, I think GA discussion and interest in aviation stories is still alive and well but a lot of people are members of aviation related Facebook groups (ie. Pilots Lounge Australia or Bush Flyers Down Under) these days instead. Not always, but in general, there is a bit more positivity when stories are shared in these groups. I think a lot of it is due to the fact that Facebook isn’t anonymous so people can’t berate eachother under the guise of their anonymous handle.
