Why fly?

Experience the joy and thrill of a six year old girl’s first flight. Her expressions are priceless. It makes me want to go out and buy a Champ or Cub.

I saw this video on Flying Magazine’s site and thought I would share it with you. Enjoy.

Experience the Adventure with GPTC and Jason Sorochinsky

SORO AIR – First Solo Flight!! from Jason Sorochinsky on Vimeo.

Our motto at the Goodrich Pilot Training Center is “Experience the Adventure.” Jason Sorochinsky is sharing his flight training experience with us all via two GoPro HD video camera mounted in the cockpit during each of his lessons. He then edits the videos and adds great music and ATIS, ATC, and in-cockpit communications. Jason recently soloed and captured the whole thing on video. His comment after his first solo landing, “Nothing but net!”

You can see Jason’s Vimeo page here.

Give the Gift of Flight!

Over the years we have helped many people give a very special Christmas present, the Gift of Flight with a Goodrich Pilot Training Center gift certificate. Our most common gift is the $99 Discovery Flight given to someone who has always wanted to experience the adventure of flying. We can also do gift certificates of any amount if someone is already training with us or is ready to begin taking lessons. You can call Doug at 607-821-2982 with any questions you may have. We can also take a credit card over the phone and mail you the certificate making your Christmas shopping very easy.

Merry Christmas!

Welcome to Goodrich Aviation’s updated website.

We have changed the format of our website and hope you find it easy to work with. You will find the link to the online schedule in the Link box on the left. You can also find links to our Facebook and Twitter pages there. I know that most people now have Facebook accounts but many of you may not have tried Twitter. I don’t tweet much but I do have my Facebook page and Twitter account linked so that when I do post something on Facebook it automatically goes to my Twitter account. I have found Twitter to be a fast and easy way to get interesting information. For instance, when the the tornado hit the Sun-N-Fun fly-in this spring, I received tweets warning people to take cover, then descriptions of what was happening as it was happening, and then pictures of the aftermath.

Please let me know if you have any comments. I appreciate your feedback.
