Default Did I miss the Era of GA?

1 year from now you'll be 1 year older. Or dead maybe, but let's not
go there.

GA will still be around 1 year from now. I and hundreds of thousands
of pilots in the US and other countries will still be flying and
enjoying it. Will you be one of them? That's up to you. Since money
isn't the issue so much, do you have something better to do with your
time? Let's suppose GA collapses a year after you get your license,
well, so what, you learned a skill you wanted to for a lifetime.

Don't wait any longer and reach old age with regrets.

THE CLOCK IS WOUND BUT ONCE

In a hangar at the airport
Where a brooding pilot blinks,
Deeply graven is the message--
It is later than you think.

The clock of life is wound but once,
And no man has the power
To tell just when the hands will stop
At late or early hour.

Now is the time you own;
The past's a golden link.
Go flying now, my brother--
It's later than you think.

As the light changed from red to green to yellow and back to red
again, I sat there thinking about life. Was it nothing more than
a bunch of honking and yelling? Sometimes it seemed that way.
