There
are no boundaries for the individual that has learned
how to fly. Imagine traveling twice as fast as your
ground-bound counterparts and in any which direction
you choose. Taking friends and family on trips skiing,
surfing, golfing or shopping anywhere you want;
when you want. When you learn to fly you have the
means to increase your productivity and control
your destiny and still make it home for dinner. |

The world of flight offers many exciting career choices.
Air transport pilot, charter pilot, fight instructor,
engineer and repair technician are but a few of the
options available to you when you fly. The aviation
job market is poised for major growth and you can be
ready for it. As an example, you could choose to use
your flying skills in commercial aviation. It is estimated
that in 2006 there will be 616 million passengers relying
on pilots like you to get them where they need to go.
With the ability to fly yourself and others to and from
business meetings, you will create a better quality
of life and still increase your productivity. Imaging
being able to attend three meetings in three states
and still be home in time, to be there when your daughter
wins the science fair or your youngest child takes their
first steps. These are moments in life that you do not
want to spend sitting in some terminal waiting for a
connecting flight that you and 300 of your, soon to
be closest “friends”, are going to be crammed
on.
The desire to travel where you want, how you want and
when you want is integral to the human spirit. By learning
to fly you can give yourself the gift of true freedom.
When you fly to your destinations, you can arrive in
a third of the time it would have taken had you driven
by car.Commercial airlines service about 650 airports,
but when you fly yourself you have over 5,400 airports
that you can travel to. This means that you can fly
directly to your destination without delays, without
long commutes and without having to rely or conform
to other people’s schedules.
Let’s face it, flying is just plain exhilarating!!
When you get your pilot’s license you join a long
and historic group of individuals. The list of aviators
in long; Orville and Wilber Wright, Amelia Earhart,
Benjamin O. Davis, Charles Lindberg, Bessie Coleman,
Chuck Yeager, Neil Armstrong and the list goes on and
on. Each of these pilots did something different with
their training but there is one common thread that ties
them all together, they loved to fly. When any of these
people was asked why did you get into flying they all
said “Because it is FUN!!”
