Of course not! We thought it would all end when piston power finished. It was different thats all.
But what will we do when petrol is £100 a gallon? Which won't be very long the way it keeps going up. :unsure:
Will we all be looking for solar powered UAV's and going on your hols in hydrogen powered Zeppelins or just moping around reminiscing about the good old days?

I sometimes wonder what it would be like in the future.Would there be a spotters corner full of people,waiting patiently for the arrival of a detachment of UAVs from Spangdahlem?
Would we drive hundreds of miles to mid Wales in the hope of seeing a fast jet with no pilot onboard and who would hand out the souvenirs next to the latest stealth UAV parked in the static at RIAT ?
The hobby will never be the same but I'm sure we will continue with it.We are a very strange bunch after all.
