For as long as I can remember, I have dreamed of flying my own aircraft. King George Aviation was the perfect opportunity to accomplish my dream of being a pilot. The inexpensive flying offered was the best way for a 15 year old airplane junky to get his daily fix of flying.
One day I saw photos taken from the vantage point of an ultra light over Golden Ears Park on the internet. I googled Ultra-lights and came across the King George Aviation website which turned out to be really close to my home. My father gave me a gift certificate for my 14th birthday to fly on an ultra light. It then took me a full year to convince my mom that the air travel was safer than the roads and that I should take pilot lessons.
I started flight school in June and have flown over ten hours. The instructors are great and every flight I learn something new. Having multiple instructors also adds to the multiple tips that I have picked up from them on how to expertly maneuver the ultra light.
Two years ago, I didn’t even know about Ultra-lights but its been one great discovery. Now I freakin love them!
