Justin is a Private Pilot!!

​Justin Pedersen, what can we say about this guy? He is a hardworking, remarkable, respectful, humble, young man. Surprise, right? You thought we would be snarky ;) Today, another one of the 2022 RARA scholarship participants earned his PPL!! Justin was held back a bit due to age, but once he hit the requirement, he was all in. Stayed super strong on his knowledge and then caught up with his maneuvers and today, SUCCESS!! This all while he has been working hard at school, studying for ACTs, and running track. He is a Junior at Damonte with the goal of being valedictorian and building his impressive resume for an Academy appointment. Next week, after finals, he is traveling to Annapolis, MD to take part in the US Naval Academy Summer Session. Work hard now and it pays off later. There is truly nothing stopping this young aviator. Awesome job Justin! You stuck with it and look at you now, you are a pilot! And you did it all without wearing your ridiculous Trix Cereal Crocs (they are terrible, trust us). Congratulations as well to his CFI Austin White!
