You know Gray Beard that is how it goes most of the time, BUT there is some exceptions. I have done a lot of instructing over the years. One thing I think I have come to understand is not all people are the same. Have you ever worked with someone and they just had a hard time with it. Some make it so hard I just want to throw my hands up and walk off. I never did walk off, just wanted to. I wonder some time if other people that teach ask the same questions I do. Do you, or anyone else that teach, learn from each student. Not about flying. About the way we are. The club members were kind of hard on me for spending to much time with this one man. I would say he was in his mid sixties. He has become a fine pilot and great flying buddy. How come it took so long? I have found out over time he had polio as a youth and life has been a struggle. Now I feel nothing but pride when I see him fly.
Do we really take time to know who we are trying to help. Now I do. I was just thinking if any others do the same. Thank you and all the people that give up their time to teach. This is truly a great activity to share.
