Richard's Flight Training Fund

Donation protected

I have always dreamed of flying for a particular organization and that dream is now on the verge of becoming a reality.  The goal is to obtain my commercial rotorcraft (helicopter) add on rating.

I am asking 1,000 people to find it in their hearts to help my dreams become a reality by donating $20.00 each (but if you would like, you can donate more or less as every donation very appreciated).  I know if this is meant to be that God will fulfill this dream because He has put this desire and love of flying in my heart for a reason.

Helicopter training is very expensive and all of my veteran benefit assistance has lapsed for this type of educational training.  I have spent a lot of money on obtaining my current flight ratings (commercial single and multi-engine Iand with instrument, certified flight instructor airplane, certified flight instrument instructor and multi-engine instructor).  That debt burdened my family for a while and I really don’t want to ask them to make that sacrifice or put them through that again.

I already have the school picked out, talked to the instructors and have been studying materials that I will be tested on during an oral and practical test.

I am trying to accomplish this goal by the beginning of this summer (2017).

Any funds not used for flight training will be donated to the Wounded Warrior Project is support of more veterans that could also use a helping hand.

I really appreciate you taking the time to read about my situation and would like to thank you in advance for your time and consideration regarding my aspirations.
