Want to be a pilot? Charlie says send him the bill

By General Aviation News Staff · June 12, 2021 ·

Charlie Gasmire, an entrepreneur and pilot, is offering to pay for your introduction to general aviation.

“I want the world to have more pilots,” he says. “It’s profoundly changed my life, and I think it could change yours, too.”

“For some of you, I think if you could just get in the cockpit and take a real flight and feel what it’s like to be a pilot, you’ll be hooked,” he continues. “And I think some of you are waiting for a gentle nudge to take that leap and see what it’s like. So, I’d like to be that nudge for a few of you. While I can’t pay for everyone, I’d like to select a few people and sponsor a discovery flight for them at a local flight school.”

You can apply for the free flight at AirplaneAcademy.com/Discovery.
