Chris B, Carl, John. Quotes from Chris and Maura about expanding the business and looking to fly this summer. “We were looking for another aircraft to get ready for the summer” says school owner Chris Hewison, “Flying is best in this part of the country from late spring to mid-autumn. We are really excited to have found this plane to help students fly more out at Griffiss.” Maura Hewison, operations manager for the school and Chris’s wife and co-owner, says, “We have a great lineup out of the Rome school.
