As sales continue to decline, I think this will be the norm. I just hope all this bottoms out before suppliers start to close down on a permanent basis. We are already seeing some flounder around.

I thought the price for this plane was to high before it went up. Even if the economy does turn around quick you'll never see the price go back down.

I went and looked at the WaybackMachine (http://www.archive.org/web/web.php) and if it is the same plane, it sold for $259 in 2008.

I just received the new Tower catalog and all the TF Warbirds have a significant price increase. The website on the other hand has the old pricing.
I'm somewhat confused here.

Prices aren't going up, the govt. is DESTROYING the value of a dollar. So they charge for more dollars, worth less...
