Welcome to Flying'sCool!.
Our mission is to introduce children and adults to flying using flight simulation and other innovative multi-media tools. We provide classes with hands on experience, educational enrichment programs for schools, eLearning products for use at home, and other event support services such as birthday parties and boy scouts. Our goal is to use the natural fascination people have for flying as a tool for education and entertainment."Education is not the filling of a bucket, but the lighting of a fire." - W.B. Yeats
