Meet your instructor. Gator Blevins. Gator is somewhat of an adventerous guy. He is a Veteran of the United States Army, a certified FAA Sport Pilot Flight Instructor, a hanglider pilot, a tow pilot, a paraglider pilot and also a "D" licensed skydiver. He is a father of six kids(3 boys, 3 girls) and proud new grandpa to his first grandchild, Evan, along with his beautiful wife who is trying to beat the odds of "incurable" stage 4 breast cancer. He rides street and dirt motorcycles with his sons and has taken his youngest son flying on numerous occaisions with his first flight at only 11 months old. Flying has always been a dream since he was just a small kid. The only thing he regrets about flying is that he didn't start it sooner than he did. "People find it hard to believe that I am a little leery if not afraid of heights. That seems to be common in alot of pilots. I guess this is our one way of conquering our fears." Get out and give Light Sport Aviation a try! You'll kick yourself for not trying it sooner!
