My name is Bill Lux. I have a grand fantasy involving and around-the-world adventure with my wife, Becky, in a Beach 18. We intend to start our flight from Oshkosh, Wisconsin departing EAA AirVenture 2019. Over the course of the next year we would visit approximately fifty locations. Our quest is planned to culminate in a return to AirVenture 2020 followed by the opening of a private flight school in Idaho.
We will film our adventures and hope to produce a near-real-time documentary. The list of potential stops is still under development; however, the variety is rich and exciting. We will show the wondrous freedom that a pilot’s certificate and a small plane can give. We plan to visit archeological wonders like Machu Picchu, Peru; Petra, Jordan; and the pyramids of Giza, Egypt. We will also travel to exotic locations such as Timbuktu, Mali; Phuket, Thailand; and Antananarivo, Madagascar. Most importantly, we will visit friends and family in France, Australia, Brazil, and Alaska.
Although I am already a certified Commercial Multi-Engine pilot, I will have to complete additional training to make this trip a reality. I also plan to earn certification as an Airframe and Power plant (A&P) mechanic. I will use BullsNest.com to share these efforts, seek advice, and move the quest forward.
Upon completion of our around-the-world trip, we will open a flight school in rural Idaho. We will offer intense, customized flight instruction to a limited number of students at a time. The intention is to create an environment where Private Pilots can expand and elevate their skills in one-on-one instruction in a private atmosphere.
I formed Bull’s Nest, Inc. in January 2012 to transform my dreams into reality.
thanks for share!
