I know I wish someone had told *me* that I could learn to fly, when I
was 17... Most of us were bright enough to figure it out on our own... True, everyone here (well, with some exceptions) figured it out -- eventually. In my case, however, I wasted 35 years of my life on the ground, gazing skyward, never realizing how truly easy and accessible GA was -- because there were no role models. Until I went to work for a guy who flew, I had no "in" at the airport. If we want to grow GA, mentoring is the only way to do it. Unless one is exceptionally motivated, the hurdles between the street and the runway are just too great for the average guy to navigate on his own. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |
