Tommy Kelly is Instrument Rated!!

Tommy Kelly, a high-flyer both in the sky and in life, just took his aviation journey to new heights by earning his instrument rating! Hailing from Truckee, California, Tommy has always had a knack for seeing things from a unique perspective—whether it’s capturing star-studded moments as a photographer at the Academy Awards or soaring through the clouds with his kids in tow. His recent achievement in aviation shows that Tommy’s skills go far beyond just pointing a camera; now he’s confidently navigating through clouds with instruments, instead of just focusing on a lens. Between family fun and flight school, this dad is truly ‘taking off’ in every sense. With his instrument rating now in hand, Tommy’s ready to ‘navigate’ the skies with precision, making every flight a first-class adventure! Huge congrats to Tommy and a big shout-out to his CFII, Shane Smith, for helping him reach this sky-high milestone!
