Hello my name is Brett Easter. I am 14 and take flying lessons at Crest Airpark in Covington.

I have a deep passion for aircraft. My father is a pilot and my great-grandfather had an unfortunate incident during WW II when he was shot down in a US Navy aircraft. Regardless, there is an undoubted connection between aviation and my family.

I am not sure if you are familiar with Kern and Rinker Buck,.They were the youngest pilots to fly coast to coast. These brothers are my role models and I try and live the adventurous lives they were fortunate enough to live. They too had a pilot for a father, and had the teenage instinct to find adventure and pursue it.

Although I have to be 17 to earn my private pilots license, I can legally fly an ultralight under Federal Aviation Regulation 103. I hope to take advantage of this regulation and purchase myself an ultralight. These wonderful machines are not expensive to the average American adult, they are to a 14-year-old boy. One of my goals on this journey was to facilitate and execute this project on my own.

I hope you can join me on my project of self recognition and adventure. After all, boyhood doesn’t last forever.

I currently have a GoFundMe website setup for my campaign. The photograph is a ultralight currently for sale in Seattle. This is the ultralight I hope to purchase. Please spread my word as this may be a historic event to some degree. Most youth don’t commit to a campaign like this. I thank you dearly for your support and the support you may bring upon me.
