The official world wide web site of the Pinellas Pilots Association located in Clearwater, Florida.

On Jan. 12th, 2008 we lost a member and a good friend Joseph Bellamy along with his parents.  We would like to remember him here.

Impressions of a Pilot
Gary Claude Stoker

Flight is freedom in its purest form,
To dance with the clouds which follow a storm;
To roll and glide, to wheel and spin,
To feel the joy that swells within.

To leave the earth with its troubles and fly,
And know the warmth of a clear spring sky;
Then back to earth at the end of the day,
Released from the tensions which melted away.

Should my end come while I am in flight,
Whether brightest day or darkest night;
Spare me no pity and shrug off the pain,
Secure in the knowledge that I'd do it again.

For each of us is created to die,
And within me I know,
I was born to fly.

GENERAL INFORMATION

The Pinellas Pilots Association is a corporation that was founded in 1998, and was a spin off of Students and Flight Instructors from the once, St. Pete Junior College Aviation Program. It is also combined with various member's from the community.  The airplane is located at Signature Flight Services at the Saint Petersburg/Clearwater Airport (KPIE).

The Pinellas Pilots Association was established to minimize the costs associated with renting or owning an aircraft. There are numerous Flight Instructors in the Association for assistance in earning a Private Pilot's License, Instrument Rating, or just to stay current. This one-on-one flight training is a great benefit of the association. The "club" is a great way to interact with people in the community and it is a great tool to use for pursuing the dream of being a pilot!

The Club uses this Scheduling agent to reserve the airplane. This Scheduling agent can be accessed through their website or by phone. You may try an online demo of the website by clicking here or the link above.
