The audience will be power pilots. Some students, mostly private with
some commercial. Age group: middle aged based on the last event at
this same venue (FBO). Advertised through the SPANS FAA program.

The idea of the talk is to point those already in aviation towards the
silent side of aviation.

- Why would they want to try it out?
- Costs much less than power.
- Medical angle.
- What do you do after the $100 hamburger? The flip side of that is
"Whats the point? You can't get anywhere!" This is the Sailing
versus Power Boating discussion.
- Two items that are not seen in power
Badges (sets increasing goals for accomplishments)
Contest (tests your limits)
- Environmental considerations.
- More pure flying experience.
