If you approach people with a built in age prejudice and an attitude folks are likely to respond in kind. That would be your mistake. These folks are inundated with people showing up with preconceived attitudes many times outright arrogance. You use common sense an you will be welcomed with open arms, thats a fact.

These folks are likely going to be the key to your success and suggesting they do not want young people is completely wrong. Meet my newest student Anthony five years old. He is going to be an excellent pilot and learning quickly but doing it the right way and doing his climb up the airmanship ladder one rung at a time.

No he is not a relative of mine but he and his dad are just walk ins and very welcome new members. Anthonys membership in the local club and the AMA are free based upon his age.

He is even going to be competing in our clubs Senior Kaydet pylon race in july and will include buddy chord teams of instructor/students.
