Just a suggestion, but for your specific request, in addition to here, you
might want to try rec.aviation.student. It's there you will find most of
those just starting out.

Hello all,

I'm working on an article for a regional magazine in California. The
spin of the article is to encourage folks to go down to their local
airport and sign up for that first lesson to get them started on either a
sport or private pilot certificate.

What I'm asking our R.A.P. community for is a concise quote to answer
the question: "Why did you want to learn to fly?"

Please tag your quote with first name, last initial, and either your
state of residence or, if not in the USA, your country code. Sorry,
handles and other cute nicks won't make the grade. If you are familiar
with the business, you know the editor has the final chop on anything that
ends up on the pages.

Go Fly!
