Mentor gives student a nudge to start flying

Following an AOPA "Invitation to Fly" seminar in Kansas City, Mo., student pilot Bill Coiner knew it was time to get over his fear and start flight training. Coiner discovered flying is not "too hard" with the help of his AOPA Project Pilot mentor Tom McChesney. "Tom and I meet on Friday's at a local coffee shop.
