Wow! Talk about bashing those who help! As a former Intro Pilot Trainer and a current AMA member and local flying club member, I hate to see so many who hate those who have helped countless numbers to learn to fly. Yes, there are always those jerks in every hobby that see just how much they can make off of others, but they are few and far between. You need to see the other side of the fence, so to speak, before you trash those who reach out to new folks in the spirit of helping. Too many times folks show up at the field with some junk that they bought off of ebay and expect someone to fix it and teach them to fly. We recently had a person show up with a F15 turbin powered jet that he bought off of ebay, and yes, he expected someone there to teach him to fly it. HA! Talk about safety issues and a good way to loose a flying field! And there are those who show up and think that they can fly if you just show them how to start the engine and off they go. Those folks seem to never listen to the instructor and you just have to cut them loose and head for the shelter where it is safe. Oh, did I mention that the club provides that shelter were it is safe to run to? Did I mention that the club cuts the grass so you can fly? Guess those tables in the pilot area just rolled up one day from WalMart? Well, guess by now, all you bashers are getting hot over what I have to say here, but stop whinning and go make your own place to fly if you can't stand to be part of a good club that offers services, advice, help, and training for new flyers.
