Description:
With the advent of sport pilot licenses, anyone with a driver's license can learn to fly. I personally quit flying because it was too expensive to keep up my medical. I can now fly again on my driver's license. There are others out there who had to quit or never had the time to get a regular license. The first thing that I found was that there are schools to teach a person to fly, but they will not rent aircraft. If you want to fly, you have to buy. There are many home built and manufactured aircraft available. I especially want to get an amphibian and/or a gyrocopter in which to instruct and rent. I would also like to be a dealer in an aircraft to sell to students. I do not have the funds to purchase these aircraft, or pay support personnel. I have been in the field of aviation for 20+ years, some of that time I ran a charter operation.
