My Story...
My name is Kyle Michael Gilligan. I am a 22 year old Commercial Multi-engine pilot and Certified Flight Instructor working towards my Airline Transport Pilot license, and not to mention also a car fanatic.
For me it all started right out of the womb. For as long as I can remember I have had a burning passion for all things Automotive and Aviation! Burning through many coffee tables as a kid with my hot wheels cars as I'm sure many of you reading this can relate. I grew up hanging around my older brother and his friends that were 15 years older than me which really solidified my love for cars. I can remember being 6 years old hanging out in the garage probably annoying him and his friends while they work in their cars which were mostly Fox Body Mustangs. As far as aviation goes, I wasn't any more obsessed with airplanes then the next 6 year old boy. I always had big dreams and everyone that knows me knows that Kyle wants to fly airplanes and drive a Lamborghini. As life went on I fell in love with the gentleman driver lifestyle and the community that was created around pure car enthusiasts. When I graduated High School in 2020 I started a mobile detailing business as an entryway into the car industry hoping it would open some doors. The experience and the value that my business provided was absolutely priceless. After about a year and a half I decided to let go of my detailing business and peruse a career in aviation. After months of trying to get the finances to pursue such a venture, in just 13 months I went from zero time in an airplane to a Commercial Multi-engine pilot with Instrument rating, my CFI, CFII, and MEI...
There is something about the Pilot lifestyle and the Gentleman Driver vibe that really makes me appreciate this world that we live in. Id like to share and introduce that lifestyle to as many people as I can because it truly is something else...
