Annie Can Fly

Thirteen year old Annie Swanson took her first discovery flight last week. Annie has her goals in aviation set a young age. She wants to solo at age 16 and earn her private pilot certificate at age 17. If all goes as planned Annie will eventually become a commercial airline pilot.

Annie picked a great day to take her first flight lesson. There was not a clound in the sky and the City of Chicago was clearly visibible from over Valparaiso Indiana. The air was smooth and Annie flew the Cessna Skyhawk like an ace.

Come on in and fly a G1000.

Eagle Aircraft has 2 Garmin 1000 equipped planes. One is a Cessna 172s N1449C and the other is a Cessna 182TC N6058P

Flying a G1000 glass cockpit is an experience that everyone should have. The G1000 makes instrument flying a breeze. Getting an instrument rating in a G1000 equipped aircraft take all the frustrations of scanning a traditional 6 pack of flight instruments away.

The Primary Flight Display (PFD) provides the pilot with airspeed, attitude, altitude, heading, navigation, weather, and traffic advisories, all in a quick glance. Come out to Eagle and fly one and you will never want to fly anything else.

Eagle's Flight Students are Soaring to New Heights

Congratualtions to Kyle DeBoer. Kyle has just recently passed his private pilot check ride. Kyle is looking forward to a career of flying for the militatry. Eagle Aircraft has helped him get a jump start on his flying career.

Congratulations to Dick Farina on passing his Commercial Mulitengine Instrument check ride. Dick owns a Beechcraft Bonanza and uses it to travel from the midwest to the east coast. Dick had a Commercial Single Engine Instrument and was in need of a bi-annual flight reveiw. He decided to get the additional Multiengine instrument rating to advance his pilot skill level and get his bi-annual flight review done. Now that he is rated for muliengine aircraft he just might upgrade that Bonanza to Baron.

Here is Loren Bailor with his Cessna 421. Loren has recently passed his Private Pilot Multiengne check ride. Loren is planning on using his 421 for business plus hauling his wife and five boys around. Loren is currently working on his instrument rating and plans to get his Commercial Multiengine Instrument in the future.
