Chris’ Bio
My name is Chris Begemann, I’m from Ontario, Canada and aviation is my passion. I’ve always known I wanted to be a pilot, which was reinforced when I was 12 and I took my first flight. I immediately made it a goal to make aviation my life.
I had my first solo in a glider when I was 15; a dream come true after years of hard work and preparation. Now I am setting a new goal of achieving a 300KM distance/ 5-hour flight, in a glider, using just hot rising air to propel me. I have made aviation my life, and now I am preparing for the adventure of a lifetime. The sky isn’t the limit, it’s my playground!
Blue skies, Chris!
