Default A little positive GA news coverage

Maybe if you had we would have a few more people that became pilots.

Precisely.

Every day we read about kids hitting baseballs, or sinking baskets, or
running really fast -- but we never, EVER read about kids learning to
fly. Ever.

It's no wonder that kids don't get into aviation anymore -- not only
are few kids doing it, no one is even talking about the kids doing
it. If 200 kids see one of their peers in the paper doing something
they had never dreamt of doing, perhaps that will open their eyes to
what is truly possible.

I know I wish someone had told *me* that I could learn to fly, when I
was 17...
