WWW,. .. .We have had Sports Stars, Rock Stars, Business, and Entertainment personalities train at NAC. When they come to us, they are just like the student who comes to us after completing their University studies. We treat them like all the other students.. .. .The first couple of days are tense till they realize most of the local people do not know who they are and they can just be themselves. At that point they can relax and have a good time. . .. .The instruction has been normal in most cases. There have been a few times that work has pulled them away early. Other than those instances their training goes at the same pace as other students.. .. .There is a funny story about a German Rock Star that did all his FAA ratings with us about 6 years ago. The first day, he arrived with his hair all frizzed out, studded leather jacket, the blue jeans with about 1,000 slits in them, and some sort black leather boots. When he walked in the door he realized no one recognized him. The next day he came in with some regular jeans and a T-shirt and had a great time. He came to us for a PPL and had so much fun he kept coming back till he had his Commercial Multi Engine Instrument Rating.. .. .Take Care,. .. .Richard
