Makes sense. Have your flying lesson involve a trip to someplace which needs supplies.
Wow, that’s a nice kid. Hope he’s careful and nothing goes wrong. We need people like him in this world.
The Presidential Medal of Freedom is sometimes awarded to singers and professional golfers. I never quite understood that. I’d nominate this kid instead.
Right, in our day in the 70s and 80s, when there were no greatly-needed supplies, we’d simply take our instructor along for the “$100 hamburger” to an airport 45-100 miles away.
Later, after amassing some wealth in our workaday world, we volunteered for various, organized mercy flights of people (often kids and their parents or relatives) that needed transportation to far-away hospitals, but couldn’t afford the $8000 ambulance rides. We’d fly ‘em for free, counting the gas and oil as a charitable donation.
