Like Father, Like Son

Picture
Ben (left) and son, Gabe, Nicholson of Solon, braving the cold with one of Green Castle's tried and true Cessna 172s, 84455.
You could say flying is in the Nicholson family’s blood.

Ben’s grandfather was a private pilot, and when Ben was young he used to fly with him on occasion in a Cessna 172 or a Piper Arrow. 

In college, Ben wanted to take flying lessons, but like many people at that stage of life, he lacked time and money. Eventually he got into real estate and started a family. 
​
That’s where his son, Gabe, 17, comes in. When Gabe and his 13-year old sister were younger, the Nicholsons used to fly commercial out to Ben’s in-laws’ home in Seattle, and Gabe started getting an interest in aviation, too. ​

For the best pilots, flying is an obsession, the one thing in life they must do continually. The best pilots fly more than the others; that’s why they’re the best. Experience is everything.
