We know it, we’ve lived it. We’ve been to the bottom. But we believe in the courage of lighting the first candle, instead of focusing on the darkness. The courage to say, “I need help”. The courage to choose yourself, your recovery, your health, and your body, mind, and soul. There are many different ways to take a small step, but if you choose to have the courage to step towards us and Arizenfly, we will meet you right where you stand. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d3652ccdb7d077e77c8e8e/416522a5-e234-4987-9747-5c6f9abb4616/untitled-10.jpg Our Mission - Transformation We believe that transformation is a journey and not a final destination. It is a choice to show up for yourself every day and choose growth. At Arizenfly, we believe that our greatest transformations can come through our toughest battles. And we want to help you lean into your journey with turning your shadows into wisdom, healing, and transformation. If something as simple as a flight and a momentary new perspective can help crack that door open for you, please come join us. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d3652ccdb7d077e77c8e8e/03753b3d-252f-471e-9f73-0c3fb6bfcdae/untitled-1.jpg Our Mission - Expansion We believe that new perspectives can lead to more clarity. That simply experiencing something new or changing your immediate environment should not be underestimated. A walk down the street, a talk with a friend, or even a flight with Arizenfly has the potential of providing a life-changing experience. No matter how mundane or extreme the experience might be, it moves you from stagnation and lands you in expansion. We believe that a new experience, like a flight with Arizenfly, could carry the change and expansion that you just might need towards a more positive well-being. Even if only for a day. https://www.arizenfly.org/story daily 0.75 2024-02-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d3652ccdb7d077e77c8e8e/f32a1b12-a952-4352-8b02-01f8c63bb20a/untitled-11.jpg Story - Meet George George is the heart and soul of Arizenfly. He is the people he serves. George’s love for flying started in 1998 when he became a USHGA tandem paragliding instructor. He continued to paraglide and teach from Boulder, Colorado for the better part of 10 years. But this was only the beginning of his relationship with flying. In 2008, George’s trajectory in life wasn’t headed in a positive direction. He knew he needed a change. A different perspective, and some new direction. He needed it for himself and for his daughter, Mesa. At one of his lowest moments, George called a close paragliding mentor who encouraged him to attend a meeting. It was in this meeting that George met Doc Joe, a pilot who would greatly impact the course of his life. They connected and bonded over aviation and after their first flight together, George’s relationship with aviation took hold. As George shut the door on things that were no longer serving him, others began to open. In 2008, he took his first trip to Alaska for a construction project. It was during this trip that he hopped in a float plane and from the backseat, pointing at the pilot, George mouthed to his friend, “I want to be that guy.” And so began George’s long relationship with Alaska where he’s been seasonally working and flying in the bush since the first year he visited. Aviation replaced the many negative things that were far too present in George’s life. Instead, it gave him a positive outlet to focus on. It fueled him with higher self esteem, self confidence, personal joy, and ultimately a new identity. Everything started coming together in George’s life after he stepped towards aviation. A new found freedom that left him feeling proud of who he was. George is now rated as a single and multi-engine commercial pilot with an additional commercial seaplane rating. He has logged over 1000+ hours. Flying has been such a life changing and positive outlet in George’s life and his mission with Arizenfly is to share the power of aviation with anyone else who may need a new, positive perspective, even if only for a day. The driving force of Arizenfly is the people George has flown. The people who NEEDED that flight. The people who have walked away from George and RJ (our trusty Cessna) feeling truly inspired, alive, more connected to themselves, and free. Outside of his pilot life, George is a seasoned tele-skier, an amazing welder and metal artist, a professional tiler, and surfer seeking out all the best right breaks. https://www.arizenfly.org/faq daily 0.75 2022-11-27 https://www.arizenfly.org/donate daily 0.75 2024-10-01
