So how do we combat this aging fleet of GA aircraft and rising Maintenance cost? It's only going to get worse. Will GA soon become a thing of the past? Airports are increasing cost and becoming a lot less GA friendly as well. Does GA stand a chance? The new aircraft replacement cost is uneconomical let alone the HUGE capability gap between whats being manufactured today, by this i mean what new aircraft could replace (with similar performance) a chieftain,titan,402 or commander??
