Don't keep flying around with empty seats.

Every time I go flying (for pleasure), I fill the seats with other people who don't fly. Share the passion, bring in new people.

I got into flying because a previous generation of pilots took me up around the local airport when I was a small child. Memories that stick out are being up on the wing of C-47 with Jack Curtis and even our beloved Dick Smith put me into the left eat of his Longranger (I think it was a Longranger at least) while moving from one pad to his hangar, older blokes throwing me into their Cubs or Cessna's or whatever they were flying. I was hooked and 25 years later I have never looked back. I go out of my way to repay those opportunities I was given to the next generation.

Something that is simple and a non event for you like a lap around the training area can be ground breaking for the uninitiated.
