PREVIOUS RESULTS ***

Wayyy back in the days before Sun ‘n Fun, we ran a couple of stories that promised improvement on the economic horizon and asked AVweb readers if they really believed there were brighter days ahead for GA.

The largest segment of you (41%) said things haven’t turned around yet, although 21% said you saw glimmers of hope. More than a quarter of our respondents (27%) said they think GA has been permanently harmed by this and will never fully recover.

Vendors at Sun ‘n Fun reported surprisingly brisk sales this year, which indicates owners are tarting up their existing airplanes.
