Maybe because you were complaining about the high price of aircraft and not jubilant that your 172RG is now more valuable than it once was? Just a quick refresher... do you remember what happened to airplane values when GW grounded us all for months? And how long did it take for those prices to recover? A decade maybe longer? Or maybe you have been a little cryptic... fighting about nonsense like which type os airplane is better Cessna or Piper? Not that I haven't seen this around here among those who should know better. I am sorry that I did not recognize you as the typical crusty old pilot and airplane owner that I am so familiar with. Maybe you just didn't act grumpy enough?
Something about this conversation reminds me a little of a converstaion I had with a guy who was trying to sell me a Commanchie. He was very cryptic. He forgot to mention that the plane had been completely submerged when they airport which was near a river had flooded. When I asked about the mechanic who had done the major, he insisted that I not call him. Fortunately, I already had recognized the name. He was the friend of a friend. When my friend called him he told him that the guy insisted that he not send the crank out to be magnafluxed because he was afraid it might have cracks since it was high time. And then he mentioned how the plane had been completely submerged. When I got back to the guy who had been acting like he was my best buddy... he came completely unglued when I told him what I had found out. He accused me of contacting the mechanic which actually I had not done... my friend had. But he called me every name in the book. It was a funny but typical experience that those reading this who are thinking about buying an airplane should think about. You have to look into the smallest details when considring the purchase of a plane.
Adios...
