A wonderful thing about the general aviation community is that it is pretty small and tight-knit and you get to know a lot of people who are wonderful and open and generous and kind. But it is also a community with rather more sudden death than most and god it hits hard when the worst happens.

Just a reminder about people longing for a new Australian car industry. 1. Car manufacturing (which still exists) is now centered on Brisbane. Very different world now 2. A new industry would employ very few people not just in the final product, but all along the supply chain. It would be robotics
