Naples-based aviation company survives post-9/11 turbulence to flourish as pilot school

NAPLES — Manuel Lercher learned all he could about flying in his native Austria.

“It all starts when I was 5 years old,” he said one day after a brief flight at Europe-American Aviation. “My mom said, ‘What do you want to be when you grow up?’ And I said, ‘A pilot.’”

After performing flight simulations and learning the basics of piloting a single-engine aircraft, Lercher’s ground-training with a family friend and private instructor had reached the end of its usefulness.
