That's hilarious.

As far as redesign, new design, and technology, look what the private sector is doing. I think a lot of the technology comes from both sides, but what some of the more long-range jets like the Gulfstreams, the Globals, Challengers, those are the aircraft that get a lot of the new "goodies" early on because money isn't as much of a factor for some of the owners of these aircraft. Also, look what's going into the GA single engine piston planes, it's freaking crazy! Mainly more of a avionics upgrade in the traditional planes, but the Columbia(Cessna) 400 and the Cirrus planes are truly great designed aircraft with speed and efficiency built in.
