Hi all, I wasn't really asking about getting an new rego, it was just thinking that there are probably quite a few sailplanes that might like to have a G reg so as to identify with gliding. If there were 50-200 airframes tied to hangar roofs that will never fly again perhaps it might be time to say "hey how about de registering it and letting the next generation of owners identify with their roots" perhaps put a form two rule in of "recency" something like one form 2 in every five years. That way we could possibly encourage more gliders airborne and less hangar queens.
Just a usual silly thought to promote rather than punish but I Know some would see it that way.
