Private Pilot

Get Your Private In Florida!

We all started where you are now.

Whether you want to fly for business, or just for the sheer thrill of soaring above the ground, it all begins with the initial training. Everyone who flies has started out right where you are now! All it takes is the motivation to get started, and the discipline to see all the way through to completion of training. Aviation is an exciting activity that takes less time and money than you think.

Why learn to fly?

…because flying is one of the most challenging activities you’ll ever experience, that’s what makes it so rewarding. How about experiencing one of the world’s best views? Flying will take you to places in much less time, and with much more fun.

Intro Flight Lesson

It all starts with an ½ hour Introductory Flight Lesson for $ 75 that you can schedule from info@airlinkconnection.com. To your amazement, the flight instructor will let you take the controls (and be there to assist you), help you find your house from above, or check out the beautiful sights 3000 feet in the air.
