Where Have All the EAB Aircraft Gone?

[Bill Berson]

The local chapter does a bunch of Young Eagles rides. But there doesn't seem to be any introduction to step two after the ride.
The goal should be affordable aircraft ownership by whatever method, not to just be a commercial pilot or even a private pilot. Who would want a drivers license but no car?
The Light Sport rule is rarely mentioned. But even a student pilot certificate is enough for a single seat aircraft or two seater flown solo. Don't need a six grand "ticket" to start. I restored a $1200 Aeronca Chief with my brother at age 19, I think. Flew it for years with only a student certificate.
