You raise some valid points, Bob.
The YE program is still in effect as far as I know. However, the most recent rides
I gave were to college students, no parents around, without any forms signed,
and even these may be out of bounds for YE eligibility by virtue of their
age. There does come a time where you have to decide not to let "reality" impede
too much on the freedom you wish you had to live and fly as a free man ;-)
and at that point I just throw caution to the wind and take folks up for their
long-awaited plane ride. Their smiles make it seem worthwhile (and the squeals
from the girls during the rolls :-)
I had an eight year old wink at me in church yesterday, and I know it's because
I took her for a plane ride last week; her parents say she hasn't stopped talking
about it since! I know there are legions of John Edwardses out there just
waiting for the next ambulance to chase, but you can't let those @$$holes run
your life (well, you can, but that's a conscious choice, and everyone will have
their own comfort level in that area.)
In short, I'm doing what I want, as reasonably as seems right, and hoping I continue
to get away with it, liability-wise. I try never to cut corners with anything
safety-related. At this stage, general aviation needs all the allies it
can get, and the more people we introduce to our passtime, the better. It's
alot like taking a hoplophobe to the shooting range; prejudices can be overcome
in one fun afternoon. I continue to believe the risks are worth the return.

True. The radius of this 50 mile circle can be covered very quickly!
On the downside, all this fuel is expensive!
