Preston can fly in the clouds!

Hold onto your seats—Preston Parrish just conquered the clouds! Today, Preston dazzled the examiner and earned his Instrument rating, proving he's got the skills to navigate through the fuzzy stuff. And get this—he did it all while juggling a busy school schedule and commuting from Truckee. Despite delays in examiner availability, Preston is not just resting on his cloud-shaped laurels. Nope, he's eyeing that commercial certificate and working toward it already. Now, here's a quirky tidbit about our cloud conqueror: Preston might be ruling the skies, but he's not exactly Captain Nemo. The ocean? Not his cup of tea. No sailing, swimming, or beach days for this aviator. We're starting to wonder if clouds are more his style. Big cheers and applause to Preston for turning those aviation dreams into reality! A tip of the pilot's cap to CFII Shane Smith and a heartfelt nod to the recently departed Greg Rudman, who all played a part in this comedy of aviation achievements. Stay tuned, folks! The next episode in Preston's story of soaring success—the commercial certificate—is coming soon!
