Birthday Checkride!

Nothing sweeter than hitting the big 1-7 and becoming a private pilot the same day!! Ethan Vincent, young aviator extraordinaire, earned his wings today in N309PS. Ethan soloed exactly a year ago on his 16th birthday. He spent the last year studying like crazy for his written, passing that with an awesome score, continuing on with his private pilot training, studying for his oral exam, earning his tailwheel endorsement, going to school, getting his driver’s license, and working part time. On top of that, he also interned here at GBA. Incredible motivation and focus that will propel him through his goals of becoming an A&P and professional pilot. Remember his name because you will be getting an email soon about him earning his instrument rating :) Happy, happy birthday Ethan and congratulations on this huge, rare achievement. Great job as well to his instructors Richard Brong and Ethan Chinowsky!
