When kids stop playing with airplanes, they stop dreaming about flying... :-(
Jay, I think it's the other way round: When kids stop dreaming about flying, they stop playing with airplanes. Kids play with toys that already interest them, not vice versa. Like it or not, "history marches on." Aviation is not as romantic as it was when I was a kid. Pilots no longer wear helmet, goggles, and a silk scarf. People no longer rush out of their homes to watch airplanes fly over, as they did when I was a kid. Youngsters today have no idea who Lindbergh was, or Jimmy Doolittle, or even Wrong Way Corrigan. The Derring-do exploits of aviators are no longer on the front pages of newspapers. Why should kids be interested in aviation? vince norris |
