WEBSTER, Mass. – Webster First Federal Credit Union President and CEO Mike Lussier tries to spend at least a few days a week with his head in the clouds.
He received his solo license just a short time ago and is restricted for the time being to the airspace over central Massachusetts. Lussier hopes in a month or so to have full privileges to fly anywhere in the country he likes, whether it is the 16-minute flight to Cape Cod that would take nearly two hours driving or a few hours down to Hilton Head, N.C. for a round of golf and back home in time for lunch. He said he could also fly out on his hunting and fishing expeditions.
"I've always wanted to do it but it was always a matter of time and money," Lussier commented. He can be found at the airport zipping around in his rented four-passenger Cessna 172 at 6:30 a.m. most mornings.
