Anybody who follows general aviation knows that we’ve got our share of problems. The list goes on and on: New airplanes cost too much. FAA regulations and mandates are suffocating us. GA airports are under constant attack. The EPA wants to outlaw our 100LL avgas. Too few pilots are still flying.

With so much to complain about it’s easy to succumb to the crushing weight of interminable pessimism, throw up our hands and shout, “What’s the use?”
