Ryan Kwan: The Mountain Man is a PPL!!

Guys… I’m scared. I was hiking the other day out in the mountains and there was this hermit of a man just staring at me with unblinking eyes from his porch... All I can say is that I’m thoroughly disturbed. But you know? Now that I’m thinking about it, he looked a lot like pilot extraordinaire and gym addict Ryan Kwan! (Ryan wants to be a hermit in the mountains when he grows up and this is what he gets for telling us 😉). This mountain man aviator decided to shave his beard and trade in his flannel for a clean pair of clothes. But why? To pass his checkride of course! To no one’s surprise, this diligent aviator crushed his checkride and became a private pilot today! You may be thinking to yourself, “Other than being freaked out by this guy in the woods, I feel like I’ve seen him somewhere else?” And you’d be right! Ryan has earned the coveted GBA pilot of the month award, and it’s safe to say that it was obviously well-deserved. Huge congratulations to Ryan and his CFI, Andrew Spanier, on this incredible accomplishment! We’re sure you’ll be seeing more of Ryan in the future, but until then, great work and keep it up, Ryan!
