   mmmmm no sorry. You’re not gonna see it, or else we’d be seeing it over the last 30 years already. The industry has been coasting off the boomers all this time, and the FAA constantly tries to create new ways to keep them flying. LSAs, then basicmed, now MOSAIC are all aimed squarely at maximizing the market of boomers willing to buy this stuff and it’s never once dropped costs.

   All you get now is new prod shit from east europe that costs as much as a 45 yo cessna while having 1/4th the capability. Only the most ragged, wrung-out shitboxes will be sitting at the ‘affordable’ end of the market….and even then you’re looking at 6 fig to get them airworthy long enough to get your worth out of them.

   (gambling, you can buy and hope you can fly it long enough w/o major cost, but you gotta be willing to walk away the minute something expensive breaks, few follow through)
