Maybe it shouldn't just be youngsters that we should target the "take someone up" challenge - maybe we should try to impart some of our passion to anyone!
As long as we remember not to bore the pants off of someone who is patently not, and never will be interested in flying! 'Choose wisely' I think the guy in Indiana Jones said.

I'll take youngsters with me if I'm going somewhere on my ownsome but it's surprising how many of them don't believe you at first when you say 'I'm off to xyz to pick something up, be gone for an hour do you want to come?'

What, you mean I can actually sit in an aeroplane at the front and did you say you'll let me have a go? Really?

It's easy to forget that the milk run to get one of your fleet serviced can change a kid's life completely.
