First Day – First Flight Celebration 1/1/12
Join us for “First Day – First Flight” on New Year’s Day!
Get on the 01/01/2012 schedule to complete a lesson, take a friend for a joy ride, enjoy a $100 hamburger or renew your currency.
You are also likely to experience an unusually quiet day at Hanscom, without the famous downwind 360° for spacing.
All those who log at least one hour, solo or dual, will be entered into a drawing for a $25 gift certificate from Dunkin Donuts.
More importantly, you will get to open the new year with a logbook entry on day one!

Michael Goulian Receives Air Show Honor

EFA Chief Pilot Michael Goulian and his team recently received the International Council of Air Shows’ highest honor, the Sword of Excellence.
It has been given in recognition of Michael’s tireless efforts to promote a culture of safety and professionalism in the air show industry.
Michael joins Bob Hoover, Patty Wagstaff and the Blue Angels in receiving the award.
He becomes only the seventh person to earn all three top honors in the air show industry, the Sword of Excellence, Art Scholl Memorial Showmanship Award and the Bill Barber Award for Showmanship.
We are incredibly proud of Michael’s achievements. Executive Flyers Aviation enjoys a reputation for safety and professionalism in large part because of his example.
