How do we inspire pilots to truly take up cross country soaring ?
			 
			 
			
		
		
		
		
In a word (or two) - "smart phones".  How often do you see young people  
that don't have their heads down and both thumbs working at near-light  
speed?

 I will point out that European numbers have been in decline for a similar period, at a similar rate to the US, just starting from a higher plateau. GA numbers also seem to be in decline. For whatever reason, I just don't think aviation is the same magnetic for young imaginations that it once was.
