Aviation is the best kept secret in town. It motivates and gives wings to dreams. Flying is used to sell everything from automobiles to toothpaste. But it is this very mystique which alienates general aviation from the non-flying public. So we end up with burdensome regulations and unjustifiable taxes foisted upon us by "experts" selling snake oil to an unsuspecting public. Aviators must be fat-cats or daredevils. Either way (so the argument goes) they're having too much fun for public safety.
Folks, 'taint so! Pilots are just like you and me -- responsible, educated, critically-thinking adults capable of safely going about their everyday pursuits without some tax-supported bureaucrat thinking their definition of "safety" is better than all others. At Paragon we are passionate champions of general aviation. Through newspaper articles and newsletters we're bringing our message to the people, correcting some misperceptions, and calling non-flyers to the fold. Here are some reprints from the past few years.
