Tim
Weber Flies the GEICO Extra 300
Tim Weber discovered
aviation at the age of 13. Having moved to within bicycling distance
of Turf Soaring School in Phoenix, Arizona, it wasn’t long before
Tim was a regular visitor to the airport. By the time Tim was 14 years
old he had gone from being the kid looking through the fence to becoming
a line-boy, trading work for flying lessons.
Tim’s aptitude
for flying was evident early on. Within a short time he had soloed
in several different types of gliders and had begun exploring aerobatics.
Since that time, Tim has flown a variety of aircraft and experienced
thousands of hours of aerobatic flying. His aggressive flying and
natural ability have enabled him to become one of the top airshow
performers in the United States today.
In addition to
flying, Tim’s passion for music has grown through the years.
Tim, a self-taught musician, was playing lead guitar professionally
by the age of 17. He has since incorporated his love of music into
his airshow routines by writing and performing original songs and
instrumentals for his performances. Tim is a popular guest on radio
talk shows and is a frequent speaker for groups and school assemblies.
He is an Aerobatic Competency Evaluator for the International Council
of Airshows as well as a certified aircraft mechanic with A&P
and IA ratings.
The aircraft of
choice for Tim is the German built Extra 300. The Extra 300 is an
unlimited-class composite monoplane stressed to handle even the most
demanding maneuvers.
With over 300 horsepower and a roll rate in excess of 340 degrees
per second, this aggressive mid-wing aircraft provides the performance
and looks to make it an instant crowd pleaser.
Tim has joined
forces with GEICO, the fifth-largest private passenger auto insurer
in the United States. GEICO has been providing insurance for more
than 65 years and insures more than 5.3 million policyholders and
8.3 million vehicles. GEICO keeps their rates low by dealing directly
with the customer. More than 10,000 drivers a week switch to GEICO.
Watch Tim as he thrills crowds with his style of hard-core aerobatics
in the GEICO Extra 300!
