One of the first steps in getting your pilots license is finding a great ground school. It helps with your knowledge for the practical as well as the written exam and you get to ask all of your aviation questions to the instructor that is right in front of you. Sunshine's ground school begins January 6th and is a great Christmas gift for the aviation enthusiast in your life. Plus it's the first step in getting to see views like this
