Free Bird by TAZ
Reaching Dreams, One Flight at a Time
Every Ferry Flight Funds a Future Pilot
A Free Bird Needs to Fly
Somewhere in Sorocaba, a student pilot tightens a headset, breathes in, and pushes the throttle forward. That moment—the one that changes a life—might be powered by your next aircraft delivery.
For every aircraft we ferry, we donate one hour of flight time to the Aeroclube de Sorocaba so student pilots can keep training—and keep dreaming.
Every Ferry Flight Funds a Future Pilot
Flight training is expensive. For many talented young people, the financial barrier is as daunting as the distance between the ground and the clouds. Free Bird closes that gap—turning access into opportunity.
Our mission is to transform each aircraft delivery into a chance for students to fly. As our Director of Operations, Rodney Sobrinho, puts it: those who see us now don’t always see the mentors who helped us get here—Free Bird is our way to give back.
