University Student And Pilot Wins Lightspeed's Final $500 Burger Getaway

The Price Of The $100 Hamburger Has Apparently Gone Up

Kyle Van Kooten of Clive, Iowa is the final weekly winner Lightspeed Aviation's $500 Burger Getaway sweepstakes. The Getaway consisted of a series of weekly drawings for a $500 package that include gift cards for av gas, rental car, dining, and lodging. Any eligible customer registering a new Lightspeed Zulu.2 or Sierra ANR headset was automatically entered.

Kyle's very first flight — on a commercial airliner — sparked his passion for flying. Five years later he was behind the controls and last August he earned his private pilot certificate. Kyle, who now flies a Cessna Skyhawk and American Champion Citabria, is working on his instrument rating, as well single and multi-engine commercial certifications. He is also studying air traffic management with a concentration in professional flight, with the possibility of pursuing a career as a professional pilot.
 
Kyle entered the drawing by purchasing a new Zulu.2 headset. He plans to use his Getaway prize to take a trip with friends this summer.
 
"It's encouraging to see young people so passionate about flying and working so hard to make a career in aviation," said Teresa De Mers, Executive Vice President of Sales, Marketing, and Customer Support for Lightspeed. "If Kyle is any indication, the future of our industry is bright indeed."
 
The $500 Burger Getaway weekly drawings ended Tuesday, the company said.
