If your feel like your being called to fly either as a hobby, or a career, you won’t be disappointed. It’s one thing to be a passenger but, being at the controls is an entirely different experience. When your in the air, you are given the opportunity to see the world around you from a different perspective. Its an incredibly freeing experience that more people should take part in.
I was fortunate enough to complete most of my flight training in Florida, however, I did fly a few times in California. I thoroughly enjoyed my flights on the west coast, there’s nothing more thrilling or awe inspiring to an aviator than being able to take to the air and watch the mountains shrink around you. However, as great as it is, my heart has never been in flying fixed-wing. For me, rotorcraft is where its at.
Thanks to some friends, I was able to find a flight school in Jacksonville, Florida specializing in rotorcraft. My time training with the owners at Helicopter Performance Solutions has been a life changing experience and I hope one day any aspiring aviator will be fortunate enough to train with instructors who are just as incredible.
