Academy College

Big congratulations to Katie! ✈️

After years of training, studying, and putting in the work, Katie has officially been hired by an airline and is ready for her next adventure.

When we asked what she'll miss most, her answer wasn't the airplanes or the airport. It was the people.

Flight school is different than most adult education. You're not just showing up for class and going home. You're celebrating first solos, cheering each other on through checkrides, swapping stories after flights, and helping each other through the tough days. The friendships and community become a huge part of the journey.

Katie has been a big part of that community, and while we're excited to see her spread her wings, we're definitely going to miss having her around.

Congratulations, Katie. The skies are lucky to have you, and we can't wait to see where this career takes you next. ❤️✈️
