Question My grandson (14) has been interested in becoming a commercial airline pilot for nearly 3 years. I wondered if there are any schools for teens like a "summer-camp" that would offer some hands-on experience to see of this child may want to pursue a real education and career in this field. Grandpa and I would like to get him started on a good path to answer some of his questions.
thank you- Leanna
Answer Hi Leanna, there are no "summer camp" that I know of. However, your local airport will probably provide flying lessons for him. That would be an excellent introduction to the flying game and be a head start on his aviation college training as well. This web site has additional information for his future education. Good Luck, Ned http://www.erau.edu/
