Question is, has the dollars depreciation run its course and is due for a reversal or not!
Absolutely NOT!!!!

USA cannot make their dollar stronger because that will hurt their badly needed export!!!! In my opinion the dollar is still over-rated!!!

An article some month's ago in UK's Pilot magazine about importing planes from the USA covered stories about people paying more at the end that if they would have bought their second hand plane in the UK in the first place...they concluded that you don't gain money with it, i don't know if they did that to protect the UK market or not....

I'm also still waiting for an article in any magazine with a test about a plane that is actually a bad plane and not good enough to buy!! Besides some minor issue's no magazine got balls enough to write that some design is crap or not a good choice enough.. i understand them since they earn money from the advertisers and little from the subscribers...
