News: Pilot Loses 100 Pounds to Fit Into New Light Sport Aircraft

Posted by Matthew Justice on Oct 29, 2007

Mike Ash, a 58 year old pilot has lost 100 pounds so he could fly in a new light sport aircraft that his flying club purchased. It took Mike less than ten months to loose the weight. Before he lost the weight it was common practice for him to have to decide between a full tank of gas or passengers.

“As well as the health benefits, for the first time ever in the 13 years I've been flying I can now have the tank up to the top and even take three people with me.” said Ash.
