Calling all kids…Hello? from AOPA Pilot Blog
Ray Larner of Lapeer Pilot Center in Lapeer, Mich., just posed an interesting question on the phone. I promised I would put it in our blog and see what happens.
How do we light a fire under kids ages five to 20? "We are really, really, letting future generations down," Larner said. He got into aviation, and chose to enter the U.S. Air Force, because of Sky King, Chuck Yeager, Bob Hoover, and all World War II aces. "It was a romantic time in aviation." Now his granddaughter is determined to make it into the U.S. Air Force Academy. Why? Because Ray is around airplanes all the time, and her father encourages her ...

As I turns out, not bad at all. The videos are conventional ...
Learning about life – from flying from Let's Go Flying
As I look back on over 20 years of flying, I realize how much I've learned - not just about flying itself, but about taking on new challenges, making risk acceptable, and pushing away the fears and anxieties which hold us back from what we'd really like to do. One of the things I've learned is that you need to be Pilot-In-Command. You should listen to experts, but then you need to rely on your own judgement and make your own decisions.
I don't even have to close my eyes to picture my first REAL cross country flight. I had been flying my Sunburst ultralight for about 6 months; I was a cautious pilot and all of my flights so far had been within 10-20 miles of my home airport. My flying mentors - other ultralight pilots - were encouraging me to stretch my wings. It was a beautiful day and they invited me to fly with them to an air show 60 miles away. I was nervous about going that far - especially as we'd be flying across the Columbia River. That sounded especially scary. And I didn't feel confident about my navigation abilities. But they were encouraging and supportive - telling me that I was up to the flight.
So now we're in the air. There are six ...
