FRYEBURG, Maine — Last Saturday’s open house for the Eastern Slope Aviation Academy may have been dampened by rain, but young pilot-to-be David Bellis-Bennett of Hale’s Location was unaffected by the poor flying weather.

David, 16, and flight instructor Mark Woodruff of Ossipee were (in their minds, anyway) thousands of miles away from wet and chilly Fryeburg as they performed a landing drill over the island of Maui on the academy’s Redbird TD2 flight simulator.
