We need some GA mentors out there.
Amen! I was amazed on active duty, how few of the officers in all the squadrons i was assigned to had GA experience and even when i offered.....were not interested in that side of aviation!?!?!? I never remembered the block of instruction in UPT where they taught you to dis GA.....but somehow that mindset is instilled.....its even prevalent in the reserve component......but to a lesser degree since we get more off the street applicants(who are basically req'd at least attain a private cert)
Here's to hoping more guys get GA exposure as it gives you a better perspective and makes you a more informed aviator!
