About CNYAviation.com
There are few places in this country where you can fly over beautiful lakes and rivers, over a gorgeous mountain range, and over a large metropolitan city the way you can right here in New York State. Whether it's an evening flight over the finger lakes as the setting sun reflects off the water, a breathtaking trip over the Adirondack mountains in the fall when the leaves are at their peak colors, or an exhilarating trip down the Hudson river through the New York City VFR corridor...New York has some of the best flying around. If you've never flown over New York State, there's a wonderful flying experience waiting here for you.

About William Green
I've loved aviation since I was 9 years old. My first experience with flight was aboard a DC-9 out of Nashville, Tennessee. Upon reaching Junior High School, I joined the Civil Air Patrol where I was exposed to flying aboard a general aviation aircraft, a Cessna 172N, tail number N249NY. After college and finding a job in the TV business, I found myself in another Cessna, this time a 172SP (tail number N190LP) flown by Peter Ricciardiello, so I could take some aerial footage for a TV commercial. I was hooked and decided it was time for me to take the controls for myself and get my private pilot's certificate. In April of 2004, I soloed for the first time at Oswego County Airport (KFZY) thanks to great instruction from Mike Verdow, my flight instructor at ExecAir in Syracuse (KSYR). Later I went on to pass my checkride on September 17, 2004. Soon after I got my private, I decided it was a great opportunity to combine my love for aviation with my love for designing web sites...and you guessed it, that was when CNYAviation.com came to life!
