We’re a few steps closer to ‘normalcy.’ With many Ohio businesses open and others preparing for a restart, Sporty's Academy tells us they have resumed training operations last week. Sporty's maintenance staff has carefully examined the entire fleet and cleared each aircraft for return to service, but also notes that each pilot should do the same for themselves as they prepare to return to the flight deck. In light of the new reality, Sporty's has made changes. Getting a pilot’s license is expensive... right? I mean, WAY EXPENSIVE... like over $10K or something... or so they tell us. Well... maybe not.

Michael Goulian of Goulian Aero Sports is an airshow pilot. While at the Redbird Migration 2013, ANN CEO and Editor-in-Chief, Jim Campbell had the opportunity to spend a few minutes talking with Mike about the airshow business. Jim asked Mike how the 2013 airshow season was going. Goulian admitted that 2013 has been a tough airshow season because a number of airshows canceled and he had to push hard as the season came to an end.
