WASHINGTON—According to a new report released Thursday by the Federal Aviation Administration, the FX series Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette has begun inspiring viewers to half-ass their flying lessons. “What can I say, the show made it look cool,” said 26-year-old Bryce Spano, just one of thousands of fans of the Ryan Murphy anthology series who has decided to follow in JFK Jr.’s footsteps by enrolling in flight school without taking it too seriously. “It’s great television, but more importantly it taught me that anyone can learn to fly, kind of, if they have the money. I’ve been doing lots of skimming and staring right through my instructor whenever he talks to me. Both my wrists are sprained right now, but I’m not letting that stop me.” Spano added that he hoped to be plummeting into the water in just a few weeks.
