Either compare flying a small plane to driving a car,
I remember seeing an advertisement in 1980s magazine comparing a small plane (Mooney I think) to a car:
"Faster than a Porsche, fuel economy as a VW, luxurious as a Cadillac. It's the perfect car for business travel and yet it isn't a car at all."
Article went on to say you don't have to worry about speeding tickets because when you fly you can go as fast as your equipment can do so. This seems such a distant world compared to these days. I also remembered browsing through Aviation Week looking at tables of small airplanes and helicopters, comparing range, payload, price, etc. Thinking about actually buying an airplane! When 1990s came along, poof! no more GA.
