Bill Kimble Flight Scholarship
Earning a pilot's license typically requires an average of 45 hours of flight time, considerable
ground school training, either formal or informal, and a fair amount of study on your own time. The
amount of time and energy is easily equal to a part-time job. We have found that while many young
people are excited by the prospect of actually being able to fly, few have the necessary background
to understand what is involved. It is our hope that any young person who thinks they want to fly will
apply for and participate in Phase I. The only real investment required for this phase is time and study,
one night a week for approximately 10 weeks. In return, even as he or she begins the theoretical
learning process, there will be a chance for the student to meet actual pilots and get a real sense of
what it takes to become one.
The Green Castle Aero Club is an ideal place to undertake the sometimes arduous but exciting
task of learning to fly. The club is located at Green Castle Airport, on F28 about five miles west of
North Liberty. We have nearly 150 members with a wide range of experience. We have a number of
active certified flight instructors (CFI's as we call them.) Formal and informal instruction and advice
are there for the asking. You and your family are welcome to visit us at one of our meetings (most
Wednesday nights at 6:30 PM) or whenever you are free. (If you just want to drop by you might want
to call first. We do not have permanent office staff.) Our phone number is 319-545-2101. Our
website: is http://www.greencastle-aeroclub.com. You may also contact Scholarship Committee Chair
Dean Beranek at (563)506-2665; or beranekdean@lcom.net.
