Learn to fly with the help of local air enthusiasts

Here’s your chance to find out what it will take for you to learn to fly.

If you are one of those people who looks up towards the sky when you hear an airplane overhead, or maybe you had a pilot’s license once and life got in the way of taking advantage of it. Maybe this was something you always thought about doing and now you have the time and means to follow through.

eaa flyerThe Experimental Aircraft Association Chapter 534, based at Leesburg International Airport, is offering you the opportunity to learn what you need to do to learn how to fly.

EAA Chapter 534 will get you off to a” Flying Start” with an informal meeting where you can ask the questions you have about flying and enjoy a free flight to experience the thrill of getting into the air in a small single engine aircraft. You will have the opportunity to meet flight instructors, EAA pilots and other people who have always yearned to scratch that aviation itch.

This Flying Start Program will be held from 9 a.m. to noon May 27 at the airport administration building. The number on the building is 8807. Take U.S. Highway 441 to Leesburg and get off at Wilco Drive, follow the road around to the left and look for the gray building on your left with the flagpole out front. The airport administration building is across from Sun Air Aviation.

Bring your questions, friends, and family.
