Flying airplanes is in Kyle Hesterâs blood.
His father, Kevin, is a commercial Boeing 747 pilot who hauls freight, and his mother, Claudia, is a hobby pilot.
The younger Hester has jumped into aviation with both feet, recently earning his flight instructor certification. He and his father plan to open a pilot training school â Pegasus Aviation Service â at the Corvallis Municipal Airport on March 1.
âMy dad got me interested in becoming a pilot,â Hester said. âIâve always been around airplanes and just fell in love with flying.â
Hester said he âlikes the viewâ from the cockpit of an airplane.
