Twin Ports Flying Dream

Many of us can recall our first flight experience, for 18 year old Mike Meyers of Duluth, his first memory, put him in the pilots seat. "My uncle, a long, long time ago took me up in his little airplane. He told me to push down really hard on the stick cause I was like five years old. I did so and i put the airplane into a dive," said Meyers. "From there flying was just something I wanted to do."

As his senior project at Harbor City International, Meyers has been working on his private pilot's license since January. He's now off to college to become a commercial pilot. "I would like to fly for the mail, or for a corporate jet or any sort of things that involve a couple wings and a propeller," said Meyers.

For Meyers, flying a small plane like a Cessna gives you the world's best view, and the true feeling of flying. "It's much more real. In one of these little planes, you're there, you feel every bump and you feel every perfect landing and every not so perfect landing, you notice a lot more."

Nearly anyone can give flying a try, Twin Ports Flying at the Bong Airport in Superior offers introductory flights for just ten dollars.
