YOU CAN FLY INTRODUCING THE CHAMPIONS BY YCF STAFF AOPA RECENTLY ANNOUNCED ITS TWO YOU CAN FLY CHAMPIONS-COUNTRY MUSIC STAR DIERKS BENTLEY AND PROFESSIONAL AIRSHOW PERFORMER MICHAEL GOULIAN. When "you're above the ground, all your biggest problems are so small. It's a feeling you can't find anywhere else," Bentley told AOPA during a Pilot Lounge interview with Goulian. So, what does it mean to be AOPA's You Can Fly Champions? First, they don't work your typical 9-to-5 jobs. But they do share a tremendous passion for flying and general aviation and have a genuine enthusiasm for the future of aviation. Their goal is to inspire people from all walks of life to go up for their first flight and enjoy the experience of flying as much as they do. Watch the AOPA Pilot Lounge video interview in this article and follow along as the Champions discuss their own experiences and adventures while encouraging anyone anywhere interested in aviation to take that first step and discover the fun and excitement of flying. As AOPA's You Can Fly Champions, Bentley and Goulian will engage with and attract student pilots, increase the diversity of the pilot population, and create a greater appreciation for aviation.
