general public\'s perception of \"those little planes\"
I m not too far away from getting my license and I've talked to some of my friends about goin flyin after I get my license. However everybody i talk to is deathly afraid of "those little planes". They always say "Those are the ones that crash all the time" and "Thats all you hear about is people dying in those little planes".
Anyway my question is how do I convince my non-flying friends that general aviation isn't as dangerous as the media makes it out to be. And to come flying with me sometime. All they say is "yeah i've flown on the airlines but you won't get my up in one of those little planes."
