ADIZ-Busting Pilot Plans Flight School Chain
Great. Now some idiot who "learned" how to fly from another idiot who couldn't read a sectional chart wants to teach others how to fly? Problem is, some people are stupid enough to believe his ridiculous claim that there isn't enough structure and will actually pay the fool money. Here's hoping he flunks his CFI tests.
ADIZ-Busting Pilot Plans Flight School Chain:
If you believe that it's best to learn from the mistakes of others, Troy Martin has a deal for you. If the name rings a bell it's because the 37-year-old was at the center of one of the most infamous navigational miscues in general aviation history. He was in the left seat of a Cessna 150 when he and Hayden L. "Jim" Scheaffer came within a mile or so of the White House in May 2005. Martin, a student pilot at the time, said the incident showed him that there are big holes in pilot training, holes his company, Martin Aviation Group, hopes to fill with what he says is his new approach to teaching people to fly. "There's just not a lot of structure today with how people learn to fly," he told the Lancaster, Penn., Sunday News, adding that there should be more government oversight to ensure pilots stay sharp.
