Discovery Flights

Great day for Discovery Flights! Two new future pilots got hooked on aviation! Matt flew with CFI Paul Jolley and Kailey flew with CFI Matt Stubblefield. Both new students came back in love with flight and wanting more! Money doesn't buy happiness but it buys flight lessons and that's sort of the same thing :)

Checkrides!

Congratulations to Angel Munoz and Shawn Linch who both passed their checkrides this week!
Angel did most of his training in Santa Rosa, but finished up here with help from instructors Emmett Castellan and Matt Bowers. He passed his CFI checkride on Wednesday. Shawn trained with Bob Bennett and passed his Commercial checkride yesterday. Both these guys worked hard for their accomplishments and we are so excited for them and their progress!

Young Aviators

A few young aviation enthusiasts stopped by today with their grandparents and got to see some airplanes take off and land as they were looking at a GBA plane. The kids all want to be pilots when they grow up and one even wants to take it a step further and be an astronaut. " Dream big little ones. The sky is not your limit."
