The Best Summer School In The World

For Ann Arbor Students, It's Time To Fly

For most high school students, the last thing on their minds during summer is hitting the books. But for a group of teenagers in Ann Arbor (MI), summer is time to fly.

They're studying for their Private Pilot Practical Tests in an intensive two-week course designed to get them all the way through ground school. For 16-year old Lydia McMullen-Laird, it's the fulfillment of a life-long dream.

"I've been wanting to fly since I was 6," she told the Ann Arbor News. "But during the school year it's not possible for me to learn how."

But she and her colleagues are learning now, in the basement of the Ann Arbor Municipal Airport. Cramming eleven weeks of ground school into two is indeed a challenge, with students generally reading 100 pages or more a night to keep up. Students pay $295 for the course, but all say it's worth it.
