Dick,
Spot on, but pprune is not short of ardent CASA supporters ----- who simply do not want to know about the immense damage CASA (and its predecessors) have done, and continue to do, to aviation in Australia, or what is left of it.
And as I have said, often enough, it is not just GA, there is a reason that Qantas has just built the biggest hangar on Los Angeles International, KLAX, and it is not just so they can park aircraft in the shade, out of the SoCal sunshine.
Tootle pip!!
