Global Ghana Airlines

Sjefen og eieren heter visstnok Johnnie o`Toole og har i følge hjemmesiden sertifisert over 250 piloter fra en eller flere flyskoler rundt Chicago..

October 16-17, 2019
November 6-7, 2019
November 20-21, 2019
December 11-12, 2019
December 25-26, 2019
January 8-9, 2020
February 12-13, 2020
March 4-5, 2020
March 25-26, 2020
