"רוח התעופה הספורטיבית" - דברים בשם אומרם
אני מצרף כאן פוסט (או מאמר) שכתב עורך ובעלים של פורום בוני מטוסים של וואנס.
חשובה לי ההתייחסות של הכותב, לרוח (Spirit) של חובבי התעופה. הפירגון, העזרה ההדדית וההערכה של חובבי התעופה אחד לשני.
חשוב היה לי להביא את המאמר לאחר ההתכתבות העלובה שהייתה בפורום זה בין שני כותבים. חוסר הפירגון וההשמצות ההדדיות. אולי, ערב השנה החדשה העומדת לפתחנו, נפנים את רוח הפירגון בין המחזיקים בתחביב התעופה בארץ.
לא שאני אופטימי במיוחד, אך אם לא נתחיל מתי שהו, לאן נגיע?

One of the great pleasures of my life is the occasional note of encouragement attached to a donation or a 'Thank you for doing the site' from a well wisher who stops by the hangar while in town. I have a pile of notes next to my desk where I keep them all - saved for over 15 years. If you're having a bad day, let me tell you this; one minute spent thumbing through that pile can lift anyone's spirits <g>. Those notes are 1) appreciated and 2) held on to.
I was watching a YouTube video around 2am Thursday morning (my brain won't shut off at times) and came across one on why most zippers have "YKK' stamped on them. YKK makes 90% of the zippers in the world - their largest factory in Georgia makes 7 million each day. It mentioned the success of the company was due to their practicing what they call the 'Cycle of Goodness'. Worded another way, "No one prospers unless they render benefit to others." And that got me to thinking again why I'm glad this site has no 'members only' area, and doesn't restrict content from readers if they haven't sent in a donation. I feel VAF 'renders benefit to others' as the YKK founder stated, and that if I keep on doing it I'll prosper (or at least be able to eek out a living). It benefits the mothership (I think) and builders and pilots alike. Everyone wins, and if enough like it I should be able to stay in business.
Thank you for putting up with my 'pledge drive' this last month - I tried to not make it very intrusive. If you donated, thank you for helping me and my family continue to run this American small business. If you didn't, I hope you enjoy the site also, and that you pick up some nugget of information that makes the hobby more enjoyable and safe.
Our outlook is positive and I don't have any reason to believe that the hobby and this site won't continue their 'Cycle of Goodness'. It is an honor to call the many people I've met online here friend. An absolute honor.
God Bless you all and wishing you and yours a happy, safe and RV-filled 2017!
