I don't take offense to advertisements as such and I passively and somewhat helplessly witness many of them each day on cable television; but there is a curious difference, in that such advertisements almost without exception display the purpose of increasing the sales revenues of the purchasers. Could you perhaps explain exactly what it is you seek as a payoff in this flight school plugging, and what sort of metric you employ to gauge its success?
