A little positive GA news coverage
A 5 question oral exam? Wish I'd had one of those...
Me, too! I have to admit to being somewhat disappointed with the level of easy mistakes the reporter made. Considering how much time he spent interviewing Joe, Mary and me, and how careful we were to make sure that he got the straight dope -- it's just surprising that a relatively intelligent person could get those kinds of details so completely wrong. But, overall, I'm glad GA got shone in a positive light. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

Maybe if you had we would have a few more people that became pilots.
Precisely. Every day we read about kids hitting baseballs, or sinking baskets, or running really fast -- but we never, EVER read about kids learning to fly. Ever. It's no wonder that kids don't get into aviation anymore -- not only are few kids doing it, no one is even talking about the kids doing it. If 200 kids see one of their peers in the paper doing something they had never dreamt of doing, perhaps that will open their eyes to what is truly possible. I know I wish someone had told *me* that I could learn to fly, when I was 17... -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

"Kyle Boatright" wrote Strangely, I thought the purpose of this group was to talk about piloting. Why not add something constructive to the discussion instead of ****ing on it? Really good idea, but some people, a very few, are too immature to control themselves. I wish everyone would take the attitude of, "If you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything." -- Jim in NC |

I wish everyone would take the attitude of, "If you don't have something
nice to say, don't say anything." I think I've found a land where this attitude prevails, Jim. It's called "The Aviation Forum", and it's a moderated group of enthusiastic, positive, upbeat pilots. See it he http://www.aviationforum.org I've been lurking there for a few weeks, trying to get used to the different format -- and am so far quite impressed with the clientele. Best of all, trolls simply can't exist there, thanks to the moderators. I haven't yet jumped to that forum completely, because I keep hoping that we will get past the current spate of ill will. However, with this group sinking ever-deeper into a morass of anonymous Troll vs.Troll banality, it's worth checking out. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

Jay, This is coming from someone who was a PPL at 17, a COMM INST at 19 and a Corporate pilot at 21. I felt no need to alert the press or have my father make ENDLESS posts to RAP every time I went to the airfield. Its good that your boy flys, but you have to be pretty self absorbed to think we all need to constantly be reminded . Hey! F. Baum! **** YOU! This is probably one of the LEAST "self-absorbed" people in this newsgroup. You, F. Baum, however, seem to be pretty absorbed in your own nastiness! Why don't you go and **** yourself! George |

There are worse things to be "forced" into.... -- Bob Noel (goodness, please trim replies!!!) |
