Revving up for the month of May, Indianapolis-based LIFT Academy hosted NNT INDYCAR Series drivers Kyle Kaiser, Spencer Pigot and Dalton Kellett from AJ Foyt Racing to get a taste of speed from 5,000 feet during a discovery flight in state-of-the-art single-engine Diamond DA40 aircraft taking off from Indianapolis International Airport.

As part of training at LIFT, our students have access to Diamond Simulators that look and act the same as the aircraft they train on. This allows them to practice in new situations in the simulators that they can ace before they work on them in the air. To learn more about our SIMs, continue reading below!
