you know what always grinds my gears... the fact that everyone stops short of reminding the normals that litigation in private aviation lead to the fact that the final Cessna 152 was produced in 1985
In 1994, Congress passed GARA[1], and two years later Cessna began producing new aircraft again. But having been out of the industry for a decade, Cessna lacked some combination of the means and confidence to bring back its entire fleet; so it focused on the 172 for the training market and abandoned the 152, which never saw production again.
