Cory is a Commercial Pilot!

Hold onto your lightly salted peanuts, folks, because we've got some fly news to share! Let's give a thunderous applause to GBA Pilot and Southwest supervisor Cory Kleidosty for earning his Commercial Pilot Certificate today! With his skills soaring higher than a 737, Cory's hard work and dedication have propelled him to new heights in the aviation world. Cory has been part of the GBA family for a few years as he finished his college degree, earned other certificates and ratings, and juggled a full-time job (plus). He even managed to propose to the love of his life, Sydney, right next to N40RF—now that's what we call a high-flying romance! Watching Cory progress through life and work toward his aviation dreams has been nothing short of awe-inspiring. As a Reno local and UNR graduate, Cory's flying abilities are simply plane amazing! And with his wedding coming up this summer, it seems like the celebrations just keep on taking off! Here's to many more smooth landings and sky-high achievements ahead, Cory! And let's not forget to give a huge shoutout to his CFI, Nathan Morin, for being his wingman throughout the journey. Oh, and did we mention? Cory's not done with checkrides just yet—CFI is coming up right around the corner!
