Sorry I am still going on about this topic
- It takes me guess 12 hours flying (20hrs of my time) to teach an old fart
who will be in gliding for the next 15 years and may give us extra stress in our
live whereas in 12 hours (20 hours of my time) I can teach TWO teanages (or
up to 25 yrs old) to fly and they could be around gliding for the next 50
years each (total 100years) I am not going to waste my valuable time
any longer unless there is a worthwhile return. The only ones I might make
exceptions to are younger airline pilots (usually switched on) and hang
glider pilots (at least they can thermal and don't get shot
down) ................Ian McPhee

better spent into teaching the good ones
Macca Sad but true.
As an 'old fart' who
started flying before ANY sex, let alone regular sex, I see all too many older
sprogs who have led sedentary lifestyles for several decades, struggling to
keep their brain ahead of the airframe. Many find it all too hard and give
up.
I commend those who stick at it.
