In article , I m sure I ve only touched on the issue, and I may be mistaken on parts of it, but I believe our society today is not at all conducive to the interest, passion and overall satisfaction in an activity like flying. *Do children today still have dreams they are flying? Can society really wear us down to where this age-old yearning no longer has meaning, and ceases to exist? Oh it exists and in many people who quietly in the background get on with their flying. But for the majority flying yourself is an uncomfortable thought with papers filled with accidents sensationalised to the N'th degree. The local Aero Club has a full and expanding membership. The Commercial Pilot School is running almost full classes. Positive mental attitude as Harry would say, people are still wanting to learn to fly :-) |

Much of fit scud running. -- The fans rightly adore me ! https://twitter.com/TomFelton |
