About FunkyPilot Academy:
During a recent interview, Author Vesa made these comments, “FunkyPilot Academy follows the journey of Captain Jack Williams, a seasoned aviator who faces adversity head-on after a life-altering accident. Stripped of his medical certificate, Captain Jack discovers a new purpose: mentoring a group of neighborhood kids who share his passion for aviation. Together, they embark on thrilling adventures, unravel mysteries, and learn valuable life lessons—all while soaring through the skies.
FunkyPilot Academy takes place in the fictional city of Jetville. After surviving an accident and realizing he can hear airplanes talking to him, our central character, Captain Jack Williams, loses his job. As a pilot with a passion for aviation, he can’t stand staying home doing nothing, so he opens a flight school in his garage and starts mentoring his neighborhood kids.”
Author Vesa continues, “This doesn’t happen easily, though! Jack loves flying but has had bad experiences working as an instructor and has no interest in teaching again. Encouraged by his wife, Susan, and worn down by the relentless neighborhood kids, Jack finally agrees to teach them.
Three kids, Mike, Charlie, and Echo are the ones who convince Jack to start a school. None of them are old enough to get a pilot’s license yet, but you can never start learning too early. The class is later joined by Viktor, a computer genius who helps them build a flight simulator. In this fictional world, anything can happen; for example, airplanes, animals, and objects can talk.
The central theme is that Jack can talk with airplanes, and people think he is crazy… We’ll see how that turns out!”
