Bit more tolerance towards others, chaps. I'm not going to defend the GPS-bashing "traditionalists" that you so dislike, but you're not coming across any better.
There's room for all sorts in GA. Personally a C152 isn't my cup of tea, IFR-d or otherwise. Give me an old taildragger or something aerobatic any day (or both at the same time
). I drive to the aerodrome in a new car full of satnav and electronic driving aids, personally I don't want it in the aeroplane. But I'm not going to moan about someone that does.
But GA is stuffed with traditionalists - from taildragger and antique type owners on farm strips all the way to the top at the GA Dept of the CAA
...
The "traditionalists" are the people that will kill general avaiation in the end. Why is GPS "evil" why is the wheel at the "wrong" end on a tricycle gear aircraft why is a transponder interfering with civil liberties.
Don't think I'm killing general aviation, and at 29 i'm not one of your 60+ "traditionalists" either. And I understand business, it's my job. Flying is a hobby. If anything will kill general aviation, it's this us vs. them, we're right, you're wrong, attitude you both seem so fond of. There are enough issues without people infighting.
(edit: I think I just took the bait...
