Jesse Surry Dominated His Private Pilot Checkride!!

Whoa, did you see that? It looked like a man, but it was truly too fast to tell... If I had to guess, it had to be none other than the fast and fantastic Jesse Surry! I know Jesse is a running fool and can quite literally run laps around pretty much everyone here at GBA, but why is he running around like a mad man? Well, it’s because he’s passed his private pilot checkride and he’s flying high with excitement (and probably still burning off that adrenaline buzz)! Jesse Surry has been impressing us left and right. From battling the weather, studying his ground, running literal marathons, enjoying the powder, serenading people with his music, and on top of all that, flying and enjoying the skies, suffice to say Jesse has had his hands full these last few months. But today, Jesse came in cool and collected and absolutely dominated his checkride! Jesse, we’re so incredibly happy for you and we’re so excited to see you achieve such an incredible milestone. Let’s give Jesse and his flight instructor Shane Smith, who has been by Jesse’s side this entire adventure, a huge round of applause on this awesome accomplishment! Amazing work you guys, now get out there and enjoy the skies!
