How does rec flying serve the greater public interest. Sure there is some
benefit to having a CAP, and some airline captains come from the ranks of

Fine, if everything were looked at that way.
Does "public art" beneift the general public? Or does it just benefit
the arts community, whomever that is. Yet many communities
(unfortunately) have a "percent for the arts" or similar programs.
Aviation is an economic engine, and a transportation mode. It is a
general benefit in those areas, the same as having individual cars
instead of mass transportation (which should change, but that's a
different thread, and possibly ng.)
