If you're searching for adventure and need an uplifting activity that provides the ultimate in personal freedom, then let's go flying!  

The closest thing to truly being free as a bird is flying solo. Gliders, "tail-draggers", Cessnas, or modern Katana training aircraft can offer you fun and safety in flying. Call for your intro-ride: 303-358-0697 or email me at mark@mwkelly.com.

Cloud Dancing is about the freedom of flight.  We are fortunate to live in a time and place where we may, with the proper training and normal skills, soar to the clouds.  People from all over the world come to this country to learn to fly because no other country supports aviation as we do.  With a single engine aircraft, a pilot can fly thousands of miles across the U.S. coast to coast on a single flight plan with no mandatory landings for customs.  Here in the Rocky Mountains, Colorado is well-known for its excellent flying weather and beautiful vistas.

Become a Pilot:  The first stage on your journey is to earn your Private Pilot's certificate which authorizes you to fly a single engine aircraft anywhere in the U.S.
Instrument Training gives you the experience, knowledge and skills to fly by reference to cockpit instruments alone. Don't let weather get in the way, get your IFR rating and use the ATC system safely.
Soaring: Learn to experience what it must be like to fly like a bird.  Slip almost silently through the sky.  Visit the Denver Soaring Society based at Boulder Airport.
Adventure Flying:  Fly up to the highest airport in North America. A mountain pilot is sensitive to the what the clouds tell about the winds aloft, knows the density altitude and works the leeway ridge for lift.
Mark Kelly started flying in 1980 while at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis.  Since then he has flown 24 different types of aircraft in the New England, Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, and Mountain states.  His favorite airplane has been the Piper Cub, flying "low and slow with the window down".  Click on Bio to learn more.
