Hayli Stewart (AKA the Candy Thief) is a Private Pilot!!

“Put your hands up! We’ve finally got her! The candy thief has been secured. Let me see your driver’s license ma’am… I said your driver’s license, not your private pilot license 😎.” Hold the phone y’all, today’s a fantastic today because the magnificent Hayli Stewart has officially earned her private pilot license! To put it bluntly, Hayli is a character through and through. From stealing GBA’s candy, earning October pilot of the month, heli skiing in Alaska, being an expert line dancer, and now being able to fly as a private pilot, she’s seriously a bad ass. Adventure is this woman’s middle name and it’s truly no surprise to see how incredibly far Hayli has come throughout her flight training. She’s an incredible human being and an incredible pilot. Let’s give this aviatrix a huge round of applause on this absolutely amazing accomplishment. And while we’re at it, let’s give Hayli’s flight instructor, Eric Harned, a huge thank you for supporting Hayli every step of the way through her flight training... even if she called you fat a couple times. Amazing work you guys! Hayli, you can finally start reading your books again (and I’m not talking about the FAR/AIM).
