What is your name?
Joel Ellis

What is your occupation?
Pilot 00183

What is your home airport? 
King George Airpark 

What year did you start flying?
2003

Where did you learn to fly?
Comox/Campbell River

Why did you start flying?
My dad took me flying in a Cessna out of Skyways in Langley when I was 4, and I was hooked! He learned to fly through Air Cadets, so when I was old enough I joined 767 Dearman Squadron in my hometown of Surrey. Glider and Power summer camps were easily some of the best summers of my life!

What airplane did you learn to fly in?
SGS 2-33A/Cessna 150

What airplane do you fly now?
CT-156 Harvard II

What is your favorite kind of flying or place to fly to?
Aerobatics! While most of my flying has been either around the patch as an ultralight instructor or long cross countries, it’s the aerobatics that I long for. Vertical aerobatics with a 5G entry are the most challenging, and I love to be challenged.

What is your favorite feature on the BCGA website?
Resources! Lots of great info there for new members and seasoned members alike.

In a few words describe what the BCGA is to you:
A way to connect with fellow pilots from my home province!

What other aviation organizations / clubs are you affiliated with?
I’m currently a Captain in the RCAF (still in training, always training!) and rent a Cherokee from FlyGTA on Toronto Island. 

Do you have a business or work at a business that you would like other members to know about (Provide Name & Link):
Royal Canadian Air Force

What is your favorite quote?
Better to be on the ground, wishing you were flying, than in the air, wishing you were on the ground!

Other interests:
3D printing, manufacturing and machining, and exploring anywhere with my wife and daughter

Anything else you would like to share with your fellow members:
Always fly to get better! The learning should never stop.

I am really interested to learn how flying vehicles work. I wanted to be an aircraft mechanic. I am just not sure if I can be an aircraft mechanic if I am not a pilot. I never learned how to fly a plane. I am also not qualified to learn it because I can't enroll. Joel Ellis is such an inspiration and I hope to be like him one day. I am really interested how this works. This is why I take time to hang out with people in the know. I know when I grow up, I'll be as good as him one day.
