I subscribe to an investment service, Value Line, and their current(July8) stock pick is Harley Davidson. Now what does this have to do with planes and EAA? Well Harley is a Wis company and is a advertiser at Osh as well as lot's of pilot's like other fun machines like motorcycles,cars, boats.
So Harley, as a discressionary spending item, like planes, was hurt by the recession after 2008, and is now beginning to come back as the economy improves.
One caution line caught my eye, like "the generation born '46 to '64 are moving beyond their prime biking years". What?
Who you calling old? And for years, thanks to Honda, motorcycles don't have to be kick started. And motorcycles, like planes, are fun, but have big risks if not used with caution and good sense.
You're never too old to fly unless you think you are. If you have the interest you have the ability.
