Bill Lewis, our founder, regularly takes time to speak to groups in the community about the changes in aviation as well as the advantages of having your private Pilot license for both business and pleasure.


Bill Lewis, our founder and chief pilot is available many times each month to answer your questions both at events hosted at Wing Ventures and in public venues.
Here is where Bill wil be appearing in the near future:

March 2, 2012
A Cirrus in Pioneer Courthouse Square!
One day event will allow visitors to sit in the cockpit and see how the most modern aircraft navigation system functions.
When asked how the plane will get into the square, Chief Pilot Bill Lewis of Wing Ventures responded:
“We’re really good pilots.”
When pressed further he allowed that the plane is a full scale mockup so true to life that it fools a lot of people. Lewis will be on hand to answer questions about learning to fly.
Company representatives along with Wing Ventures Pilots will answer questions about the aircraft and demonstrate the navigation system.
A half size model of the Vision private jet now in testing by Cirrus will also be displayed. Orders are now being accepted for this seven place aircraft.
