Help Robert Make Aviation History

Donation protected
No one in the history of aviation in the United States has become a Licensed Helicopter and Airplane pilot soon after their 17th birthday. I would like to do this . You must be 17 yrs old to get either pilot license.

Hello, my name is Robert Pinksten and i'm an aspiring pilot. Over a year ago I created a GoFundMe page to help me get to my first solo flight in a helicopter. This was a success. Five months after my helicopter solo I soled an Airplane after about 8.6 hours flight time. I plan on becoming the first 17 year old to have both a helicopter and an airplane private shortly after their 17th birthday.

I successfully passed my Helicopter checkride and got my Private Pilot-Rotorcraft License on my July 2 2013.

I'm asking you to help me complete this goal, I currently work three different jobs and pay for as much flight time as I can.

Flying is my life and hopefully my career as I hope to become a CFI, or Certified flight Instructor in helicopters.

I was originally trying to do both airplane and helicopter checkrides on my 17th birthday, but the weather, and finances did not allow this to happen. I am trying to finish the last two flights and get my license within a few days of my 17th Birthday. This would still make me one of the youngest people to get both licenses.

Please help if you can, As of July 3rd, I have enough money to finish the airplane training but not to take the check ride.


Thanks


Rob
