For those that might not know, Harrison Ford is the head of the Young Eagles program, designed to give youngsters free flights to help them perhaps focus on aviation as a career. He has flown countless flights and is heavily involved in the national program.
I have made more than one flight in search of a $100 hamburger. Found it every time, too.
Great. But I don't want to hear anything out of his mouth about environmentalism, or how the rest of us should cut back.
Hasn’t he also flown rescue missions?
Well, well, well. It’s about time the carbon nannies caught up with GA (HEAVY Sarcasm off)
Harrison Ford does a tremendous service to GA. He’s a worthy successor to General Yeager and Ciff Robertson in terms of their service to GA.

Young Eagles is really cool. Our Cub Scout Pack had a summer outing at a local airport where each kid got to fly. THey had a blast. My son wants to become a pilot because of Young Eagles.
