Ava Soloed!!

Big congratulations to Ava Armen on her solo flight today! Ava soared to new heights at KSPZ runway 24 in N37JA, marking an incredible milestone in her aviation journey. This remarkable young lady just graduated high school, juggles a job at In-N-Out, and is mastering the art of flying. With aviation in her blood, as her dad was both a GA and commercial pilot, Ava is honoring his legacy in the most beautiful way. Ava’s infectious smile lights up the airport, and today was no exception after her unforgettable solo flight. Her dedication and passion for flying are truly inspiring. How did Ava celebrate this monumental achievement? She went straight to work, bringing her same drive and enthusiasm to In-N-Out—because when you’re passionate about what you do, you shine no matter where you are, even if you smell like a hamburger and grilled onions all day :) Awesome job, Ava! Your journey is just beginning, and we can’t wait to see all the incredible things you’ll accomplish. A huge congratulations to her CFI, Shane Smith, for guiding her to this moment.
