Richard Johnson
I earned my private pilot license on June 6, 2000 after passing my
check-ride.
A year of my time and 46.5 hours in the air was all it took to earn
my wings.
By having my flight time funded by the Golden Eagles, I was able to
focus
on my studies and flight skills instead of paying the bill at the end
of my flight.
I am currnetly working on my instument rating seperate from the Golden
Eagles.
They got me off the runway and now I'll climb to the clouds.

Michael Johnson
It was the summer after graduation in 1996, I had been going to the
Golden Eagles
meetings and studying the private pilot books that they provided for
me. It was a lot
of work, but with the support of Golden Eagles members and a generous
donation
from the Air Force Association, a year later on September 17, 1997
I passed
my flight test and became an FAA certified private pilot. Since then
I have been able to
hold a flight cabin crew position with an international airline flying
in 737 and A320 aircraft.
I am currently studying to become an Air Traffic Controller. I am now
a member of
the Golden Eagles of Minnesota, Aircraft Owners and Pilot's Association
(AOPA) and
the National Air Traffic Controllers Association (NATCA). I may never
have been able
to acheive what I have today without the help of the Golden Eagles
of Minnesota.
