    Meet Will!

    Meet one of our recently soloed students, Will. He is a really impressive guy...operations manager, has a heavy metal band, single dad raising a beautiful young girl, and finding time to follow in the footsteps of his Dad who was also a pilot. Notice that big smile? It is because flying will change your life. It is worth every bit of effort you put into it. “Nothing ventured, nothing gained” applies to many things in life, including flying. Being a pilot will give you a new outlook on life and a new appreciation for the people you meet in it. More than just a fun hobby, it will become a lifestyle for you, an identity. Will is well on his way to living an incredible life in aviation. Congratulations on your recent milestone Will!
