Minnesota Skiplane Pilot Wins Lightspeed’s $500 Burger Getaway

Posted on January 31, 2014 by mwflyer

SAGINAW, MINNESOTA – Frank Vittorio of Saginaw, Minnesota, is the latest weekly winner of Lightspeed Aviation’s $500 Burger Getaway sweepstakes. The Getaway consists of a series of weekly drawings for a $500 package that includes gift cards for avgas, rental car, dining, and lodging. Any eligible customer registering a new Lightspeed Zulu.2 or Sierra headset is automatically entered.

Vittorio has been a private pilot for 37 years. Just after retiring as an IBEW electrician five years ago, he purchased a 1939 Piper J4A and has logged over 700 hours of flying since. He has a special love of “ski flying,” especially landing on Minnesota’s frozen lakes. Vittorio was entered into the drawing when he registered his new Lightspeed Zulu.2 headset. He plans to use his winnings to support his, as he puts it, “aviation habit.”
