It definitely was a great time! The flying was great, and to top it off, the Air Cam group is a really nice bunch. Pretty sure the other Island visitors enjoyed watching the airplanes from the ground as well.
Kimo and skyjeep7, thank you for sharing your stories! As a young woman just starting to rack up my flight hours, it was really incredible to speak with and share in this experience with some of the trailblazers of aviation. They definitely are living history, and it's humbling to hear their stories.
Hi cap10john,
Here's the layout of the costs: http://www.usaviationacademy.com/helicopter-ATP-domestic.php
The $4,800 covers the ATP course only, not all of the FAA requirements needed first to obtain the rating.
Hi Patricio Silva,
Thanks for keeping me straight! It was indeed "on the anniversary," the 53rd anniversary to be exact.
Thanks for the note,
Bethany
