I wish I had an opportunity like that when I was younger.

WTG Graeme!

I wish I had the time to devote to bringing up a new pilot. Looks like fun.

I once thought about an instructor rating just so that I could see in someone else the elation I felt learning to fly and realizing a lifelong dream. Alas life gets in the way and I am not anywhere near my own plane most of the time. Perhaps someday.......

I thought that was why you went to live with Uncle Eddie for a bit - remedial training.......


You don't need to be a CFI. Does the EAA allow you to fly YE in Canada? Anyways I see it as an extension of some youth work I did for years. Kids don't have to become pilots. Though of the 26 YE's I've flow in in the last nearly two years - two are now in formal pilot training with flight schools. In the case of others how about this:

"While it is wonderful to watch XXXX enjoying his flying - I also enjoy watching aviation help XXXX get a handle on reading and math. A preflight checklist and weight and balance calculation used to be a significant challenge for XXXX - now they are just an important part of going flying which XXXX tackles without thinking about it."

And from a selfish standpoint - if we don't pump prime GA with youngsters - there will be no GA when we get around to retiring.

LOL!!!

No comebacks at this time. Gonna let this one sit for a while.
