Jim's Aviation Links:
Jim has many hours of experience instructing in
many planes. The plane on the left, a Cessna 172 is a
typical high wing trainer. It has docile characteristics and
is very easy to fly. The plane on the right is a Piper Lance and is a
high performance, complex plane that requires many hours of training
and experience to fly
well. Jim has trained many pilots to fly both.
