Thoughts?

What I try to do is give guys my age (still less than 40)
flights just so they can see what its like, how fast you
can get from point A to B, the great view, etc. I'm blatantly
trying to create an addiction (in some of them anyways)
including "the first one is always free."

Another thing one might do to lower cost that I've considered
but not done yet, is take the airplane that you've already
purchased, found a home for, etc. and make a flying club
out of it. Your investment/debt/outlay will go down, and others
who otherwise wouldn't have made that investment will get into
flying.
