Because flying is cool

Flight school open house draws 300

By · ·

Arizona Flight Training Center hosted its first open house at Glendale Municipal Airport (GEU) on May 1st. More than 300 people attended the open house, including a few future pilots, reports Rob Olson. In addition to a flightline consisting of Warbirds, kit planes, school aircraft and a King Air, demo flights were also offered to potential aviators.

Luke Hornack, 3, takes the controls of a King Air from the co-pilot's position.
Reese Toon, 9 months, "struts" her stuff, as she plants herself on the wing support of a Cessna 172 with her Dad Nick.
Taylor, 8, stands in front of the Cessna 172 that she just piloted from the right seat on a demo flight around the valley.

In advance of the open house, AZFTC was featured on the Fox 10 morning show, on the Fox TV network’s Phoenix affiliate.
