Bruce,
Your no renegade. I'm with you in the respect that I will also fly anyone interested in aviation. I might be new at this, but my love for the independance overides the complexities of life. If I make a difference in a young persons life, well, I have been blessed .

Same here. I'll give a ride to anyone that wants one. I wished I had the same opportunity when I was young. If I spend all my time worrying about the potential liability issues I'd never be flying.
I'm with you Bruce. I'll give rides to strangers kids all day long in your airplane too.
(Seriously, I'm not trying to prevent folks from introducing kids to flying. I just don't do it with total strangers in my 170. Friends and acquaintices, yes...but not too many strangers kids. There are too many other airplanes at the airport that are already intended for that purpose that can be rented/donated for that, imho.)
Any owner of anything of value has the privilege of making choices in regard to how it's used. It's no reflection on anyone's person in how they decide such things.

George you are welcome to use my plane anytime. In fact I've made that offer to many of my friends. A few have taken me up on it and I couldn't be happier.
CAUTION - My forum posts may be worth what you paid for them!
