Kirsten N.
“Pilots seeking their instrument or commercial tickets as well as hi-performance and complex multi-engine aircraft endorsements generally have competing life demands, like school and/or jobs and/or family. Only a fortunate few have support structures to help pay for their training.”
Ray P.
“Many people are forced to abandon their dreams, or let time sweep past them. Your contribution can be that encouraging gesture that helps someone take the next step on a very long journey.”
