Rod Machado's story about Henry

I've known Rod for several years now and we communicate via email. I
make no bones about the fact that I like his "style" of teaching and
find him an invaluable asset to the GA community.
Rod uses a kind of "Dr. Phil" approach that some pilots find a bit over
done, but I for one, knowing his deep level of knowledge and skill as a
teacher, find what he does unique and extremely helpful to the flight
training community.
I recommend his books highly, and find his "talks" enlightening and
entertaining.
Rod has a unique way of getting people's attention and getting that
attention focused on flying airplanes.
He is one of the most highly respected instructors teaching today.

Actually this is the first time I have seen him talk but he comes
across as someone with a deep passion for flying. I doubt anybody
would have a negative view of GA if they heard him talk like he did in
that clip. Actually some of the other guys who write for AOPA seem to
be very good too. I particularly like reading Barry Schiff's columns.
From my limited experience as a student, I feel that CFIs who consider
flying to be an art as opposed to a science appear to teach much
better. In that sense, my dream instructor would be Wolfgang
Langewiesche of Stick and Rudder fame.
