A Cessna 172 gets better gas mileage than your truck. And you don’t really know any pilots I’m assuming. Most pilots don’t care about your pickup. Pilots are the ones putting Greta Thumberg “How dare you” stickers next to the fuel caps on their airplanes with immense giggling. Pilots are the ones that fought Santa Monica Airport’s nonsense for years and also have fought far-left activists over the attempted closing of Reid-Hillview in Santa Clara County.

Now some people that fly private jets as passengers — that’s another story. They’ll gladly fly to Davos while admonishing the rest of us to use one square of toilet paper and eat dried crickets.

But aircraft owners? We don’t care about your truck — in fact a lot of us use them too!

Does a Cessna 172 not get 12-13mpg? My old truck gets 17mpg with a fuel injected straight 6
