<p>It has been said many times but you can't teach desire. Reread the last paragraph of Jason's post.</p>

can't 'make' someone a pattern pilot, they have to be one and not know it yet. Yes pattern makes most of the Worlds best pilots, but you can't take a pilot and make them a pattern pilot. If there isn't a drive to become better, not the best (that's the 2%
of us), you'll only have a casual or short term pattern pilot at best. At my age I know my time is probably limited as far as being competitive or even having a chance at winning big events anymore, but my drive to be better and push myself is still there.
So I will continue to learn new F patterns that will drain me every day I practice because I am a Pattern pilot 😁</span><br style="color: rgb(33, 33, 33); font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, "Segoe UI", "Segoe WP", Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 15px;">

the benefit. I have heard hundreds of pilots say "this has become too much work" and can't recall one who said this is too easy.</span></p>
