Melissa is a Private Pilot!!

Congratulations to Melissa Drapala on earning her private pilot certificate today! Even though she’s a ski bum at heart and loves carving up winter slopes, she didn’t let the summer heat melt her determination. Melissa traded in her ski poles for flight controls and hit the books hard, proving her skills with a stellar performance in her oral exam and flight. She tackled those exam questions like fresh powder runs and soared through her flight test like she was catching the perfect lift to the peak. From shredding the slopes to cruising the clouds, Melissa is taking her adventurous spirit to new heights! Big shoutout to her CFI, Danny Britson, for being the ultimate guide on this flight path. Whether it's carving down snowy mountains or navigating through the skies, Melissa is unstoppable! Awesome job Melissa!!

Melissa snuck out before we could snap a picture so pictured is her checkride aircraft. It is just as excited for her as we are! 😁
