Glider Pilot Turned Private Pilot!

While normally gliding through life one thermal at a time, Makaela traded in her glider wings today for the hum of an engine and earned her private pilot certificate! From tackling black diamonds to mastering thermals, Makaela’s proven that whether it's on snow, in the sky, or riding the wind, she's a force to be reckoned with. Although she would’ve like to catch a couple more zzz’s before coming in this morning, Makaela came in bright-eyed and bushy tailed. Well, as much as she could be especially since she drives in from the lake… sorry Makaela. But nonetheless, she was ready to flaunt her stuff and glide straight to victory. To no one’s surprise, she did just that and passed with flying colors. Huge congratulations to Makaela on this incredible accomplishment! Let’s all give a huge round of applause to her instructors Trey Casini and Eric Harned who’ve helped persuade this seasoned glider pilot to embrace the power of an engine. Fly high, Makaela, and keep carving those new horizons!
