Today is World Pilots Day! And Sally Dukic decided to celebrate by flying solo for the first time in many years. Sally achieved her GFPT (the equivalent of the RPL) back in the 1980s, and was promptly whisked away overseas by her husband. She decided it was time to get back into it and finish that PPL. We're so proud of her, and so very impressed by her dedication and determination. Nice work Sally! 👏

“World Pilots' Day is celebrated annually on April 26 to honor the dedication, skill, and professionalism of pilots who ensure safe air travel. The day focuses on recognizing pilots' contributions to connecting people globally. Although its roots are tied to commercial aviation, the day is now widely recognized as a tribute to anyone who commands an aircraft.” That includes us, the dedicated instructors who can take some credit for getting all of those pilots trained in the first place.

Harrison Hadden - first solo!!! One of our younger trainees, we suspect this one may have the gene 🧬 We sometimes have Uncle Allen swing by for a hire & fly.
Congratulations Harrison, we hope there were big celebrations with the family last night. We look forward to many more milestones.
