This program is designed to show you various ways to learn how to start flying, introduce you to other pilots, students, instructors, and schools.  We will also discuss the opportunities you will have after completing flight training.  Not just for airplanes but also for Light Sport (LSA), rotor wing, gliders, and Trikes.
