Help Some Kids Build A Plane

Here’s a chance to make A big difference in the future of general aviation. By Lyn Freeman  Plane&Pilot Magazine Submitted by David Williams  (David would like to get something similar  started within this chapter)
There are days when the future of general aviation looks bleak to me, and I fear that the sport and even the lifestyle I love are in trouble.

Small wonder you don’t see many young people at the airport anymore. And that’s sad because many of my most cherished childhood memories are recollections of flying all over the Southwest with my father in a Piper Clipper. more
