In another thread the "folks by the fence" -- airport spectators --
have been discussed, and a couple of us have stated that we've always
wanted to shut down and ask if anyone wanted to go for a ride.

In my opinion, this single act of kindness would absolutely make
someone's day, and could possibly change their life. And no other act
could help improve the image of general aviation more.

Yet, I've never done it, for a myriad of reasons -- and I don't know
anyone who has.

Have you? If not, why not?

Yes, once. I mentioned it here and it dawned on me through the comments in
return that I was taking a pretty big security and financial risk.
Everything turned out OK and the flight school owner had spoken to the guy
beforehand when I mentioned it to him, and since the stranger passed his
inspection I felt it was fine.
