Even though sports are very important to our development, we need to stop the total sports saturation of our kids and replace it with technology. The one export that we have left in America is technology, our TV's are made overseas, our radios are made overseas and the overseas countries will take everything if we don't keep our mind on technology, especially aviation and space technology. Airshows keep our techonology in the public eye. And, the EAA is a major promoter and participant in airshows. Here we can touch aircraft and other high tech items.
Kids can see demonstrations of the principles of flight.
They can see the history of aviation from the Sopwith Camel to the XB-70. Museums create dreams, dreams create desire, desire creates action, and action creates our future. We need museums and we need our kids to see these museums.
