Not just the cost of the aircraft, but the cost of flying training appears to have risen at a greater rate than inflation it seems over the same period.
I'd be interested to learn what others think, but from memory of hourly training rates in the 70s the cost of flying training seems to have risen at approximately twice the applicable rate of inflation (based on memory of flying rates and applying that to an internet historic inflation calculator)?
I used to pay £5/HR to rent a Beagle Pup in about 1974, applying inflation that comes out to around £60, not much you can rent at that price, though it is about what the hourly rate on our group RV works out at.
