The reporter got almost every detail wrong -- but, hey, it's positive
news about young people flying, and it was published in a Gannett-
owned periodical... We'll take it!

I think it's an excellent article.. any "details" that may be wrong would
not be noticeable to the non-aviator.. so it yields a great positive light
on a young man's accomplishments.

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 .

Maybe if you had we would have a few more people that became pilots.

Yea you are probably right but I grew up in a major metropolitan area
and I doubt something like what I did would have been newsworthy. I am
sure it is different in Iowa.

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?
