Anything to promote aviation is a good thing, but it seems to me we need to do more to encourage youngsters to get interested in flying and away from video games - flying is a lot more interesting!
JetAviator7, flying is so much more fun than video games... if they only knew. I'm keeping those eyes safe for sure! And they hide the lines of wisdom that creep in as I age. ;)
I agree, but also alot more expensive! Was thinking of saving Lauren's flying lessons until I could come to states with her to get her PPL, would be a whole lot cheaper than learning in the UK, even with accommodation! Not sure of minimum age, will have to look into it.
Jo, That would be great! If you saved her money and sent her to one of the aviation colleges, she could get her degree and her training too! That would be great. In the mean time, she could start applying for scholarships with women in aviation, and 99's. I'm also thinking she could find pilots who would mentor her and take her flying.
Go to my flight school! It has no minimum age limit. Their youngest student was 11. You have to be 16 to solo, 17 to get your license, and 18 to instruct, legally. But that's it. :)
Happy International Learn To Fly Day! What an excellent cause!
