hope you're wrong! If the vaccine continues to work as advertised then I think GA will recover - most people in my flying circle are chomping at the bit. I agree with you that C-19 isn't going away but once the vaccine efficacy data is available to establish booster intervals then I see no reason why pax flying, fly-ins or any social contact shouldn't be feasible
sans masks and social distancing. Fingers crossed!
