I believe Cirrus has indeed created an entire new market in general aviation. I for one, would have never considered buying a new Cessna or Piper. Why pay the price of a new aircraft from Piper or Cessna for 40 year old technology when a used one could be bought for a significant discount. Cirrus, however has changed that. Cirrus brought to the market the latest in design, materials and production and as a result created a new market for general aviation and taken away from the other GA manufacturers.

I wonder if the conversion to the Garmin MFD/PFD combination had anything to do with the significant decrease in Cessna sales between the first and second quarters? I had heard that Cessna had a huge backlog of completed planes that they were waiting to deliver pending FAA approval of the modification.

It would be nice to have the choice though. Right now, my all electric steam gauge plane gives me everything I want. It is better than what I have been used to because there is no vacuum pump to worry about. having flown instruments all these years, I really do not see how the PFD is THAT much better to justify its cost over steam gauges. In addition, what will be the replacement cost when the thing goes belly up?

I can replace an airspeed indicator and an altimeter cheap. The thought of a $25000 replacement cost for the PFD would worry me. That is almost the cost of the engine!

BAS Part Sales has acquired a treasure trove of Cessna aircraft that comes from the JW Duff Aircraft Company inventory. This lot was hidden away many years ago and has been stored in a hangar since JW Duff closed his doors. When BAS Part Sales originally purchased the Duff inventory in 2017, we did not acquire this hoard of single-engine aircraft or the massive parts collection associated with it. But the collection has remained intact, and now it's ours to sell.

Each aircraft in this group is unique in some way. Some have engines and props. Some are complete airplanes missing engines and props. Most are sitting on landing gear with brakes and tires. Gear extenders and Cleveland wheels are common amongst these fuselages. This is a diverse group of aircraft in various stages of completeness. There is a HUGE inventory of parts in this lot.

Originally we intended to sell this inventory as one big unit. But the opportunity presented itself to create some unique project airplanes and move most of the other parts and components into our on-line inventory, making them available for sale through our store.

We have acquired a special inventory of Cessna 120, 140, and 150 aircraft, parts, control surfaces, engines, doors, and much more. We have put together four Cessna project airplanes that are ready to be rebuilt and back in the air. Read more for details.

White Industries, Inc. ("White Industries") and Carthage Airways, Inc. ("Carthage *690 Airways")[1] seek, for themselves and for the members of a nationwide class composed of all "zone dealers" of Cessna aircraft who operated as such during the years between April 14, 1968 and June 5, 1974,[2] treble damages for alleged violations of 2(a) of the Robinson-Patman Act, 15 U.S.C. 13(a), and 1 of the Sherman Act, 15 U.S.C. 1.[3] Still present as defendants are The Cessna Aircraft Company ("Cessna"), and Cessna Finance Corporation ("CFC").

Following assignment to this division, the case proceeded to trial before the court sitting without a jury. During the course of trial, it was determined: (a) that presentation of the individual claims asserted by White Industries and Carthage Airways would be bifurcated between liability and damages; (b) that upon completion of the liability phase of those individual claims the court would recess the case, issue its rulings on evidentiary questions which had been reserved, and thereafter rule defendants' anticipated motion for involuntary dismissal of those claims; and (c), that in tandem with its liability rulings on the individual claims the court would rule defendants' motion made during trial to decertify the class. The court's evidentiary rulings having been made, see White Industries v. Cessna Aircraft Co., 611 F. Supp. 1049 (W.D.Mo.1985), I now turn to the substantive matters mentioned.

Given the scope and complexity of this litigation, I commence with a definition of certain terms which recur throughout. The exercise, however, is not purely advisory; the definitions which follow also incorporate findings of fact and conclusions of law.

(b) Fixed Base Operator ("FBO"): A generic term signifying a business (individually owned, corporate, or otherwise) which occupied physical space at an airport and which carried on some or all of a variety of general aviation related activities, including flight training, aircraft rental, aircraft chartering, aircraft maintenance, servicing and repair, aircraft hangaring or tie-down, and the sale of aircraft, avionics, accessories and parts. As would be expected, some FBOs were larger and more aggressive in their operations than others, and some did not engage in all the activities mentioned above. It appears, however, that many were at least occasionally involved in the resale of both new and used aircraft to most kinds of "end consumers" *691 (see "end consumer," infra), and a number were active in that line of business. Both "contracted dealers" of Cessna aircraft (see "Contracted Dealer," infra) and "zone dealers" of Cessna aircraft (see "Zone Dealer," infra) were ordinarily FBOs, although many other FBOs were never formally associated with the Cessna distribution system.[4]

(c) Cessna Distributor:[5] As used in this opinion, a business operating under a franchise contract with Cessna, performing at least in theory a more or less traditional wholesale function in the distribution of Cessna aircraft, accessories and parts: viz, the purchase and maintenance of an inventory of Cessna aircraft, accessories and parts; the development of "contracted dealers" (see "Contracted Dealer," infra) within the distributor's assigned geographic "area of responsibility;" and the sale of Cessna aircraft, parts and accessories to those contracted dealers.

(d) Contracted Dealer: As used in this opinion, a business ordinarily if not without exception an FBO operating under a contract (ordinarily of one year duration) with a Cessna distributor. A "contracted dealer" was in theory to perform a more or less traditional retail function in the distribution of Cessna aircraft, accessories and parts: viz, purchase Cessna aircraft, accessories and parts and resell the same to the buying public. In practice, a "contracted dealer" usually acquired its Cessna aircraft from the Cessna distributor with whom it had a contract, although nothing in any of the contracts shown in evidence required the same or restricted either the distributor or its dealers in buying from or selling to any person either might choose.
