Last week, AVweb asked how much you'd be willing to pay for avgas
before you seriously considered (shudder) giving up flying.
Over a third of our respondents (35%) said that $5.00 a gallon
would do the trick.
Nearly a quarter (24%) said $6.50 per gallon would be the
breaking point.
14% of those who answered last week's "Question" were ready to
hang up their wings at $9.00 a gallon.
A mere 17 readers (3% of those polled) were willing to hold out
for $12.00/gallon avgas before they considered giving up the skies.
And another 24% of readers said it'd take more than $12 avgas to
keep them out of the air. (Just don't tell the petrol
companies you feel that way — all right, guys?)
*** THIS WEEK'S QUESTION ***
With the FAA
looking for money, what does your crystal ball say about the future
of aviation in the U.S.A.? Consider our list of (some of the)
possibilities, and tell us which one you think might be a glimpse
into the future.
