Good article. I like how it explains some of the major benefits of GA. I also like George Moussa's quote, "Anyone who flies does it because they love flying," to remind readers that time savings aren't the only reason we fly.
As pilots sometimes we forget how newsworthy some of our experiences can be-- you just have to make an effort to get things into the paper. Whenever there's an article, I suddenly get more phone calls resulting in new students.
Given the latest issues affecting us, now might be a good time to give the media some story ideas. It's easy for them to find out about an accident or a noise complaint, but how easy is it to know that a 16-year-old kid just soloed on his birthday? I bet most of us know a pilot whose story would be interesting to the public. If it's you, get someone to call in and vouch for you!
