When the weather finally cleared over the Memorial Day weekend, they all logged their first flights, and they and their instructors are working very hard to make up for lost time.  FIRST CAREER  SCHOLARSHIP WINNER IN TRAINING Former NYC firefighter and 9/11 first responder Paul Lampasso has nearly completed training to become a licensed Light Sport Repairman with Maintenance Rating.  Paul has been in intensive daily training since the Rainbow Aviation course began in mid-May, and will graduate in early June. Paul Lampasso (on right) with Rainbow Aviation instructor Brian Carpenter  Befitting his previous career, Paul has likened the volume of the material covered to "drinking from a fire hose", and is greatly enjoying the experience.
