    Austin is licensed to fly!!

    Well, well, well, let me tell you a little story about a certain someone named Austin Fullmer. The man who earned his Private Pilot Certificate today!! You might want to sit down for this one because it's quite the adventure. So, get this – Austin is not just your regular private pilot. Oh no, he's a private pilot with a side of geological engineering, a dash of Nevada Air National Guard service, and a whole lot of golf. Yes, you heard that right. He managed to squeeze in aviation training while doing all that. Talk about a multitasking pro! He stayed focused and always showed up ready to roll every single time. Even put up with the office staff terrorizing him 😁 Huge congratulations to Austin Fullmer, the guy who defied the laws of time and space to become a private pilot while also conquering geological feats and mastering golf swings. If there's a hero of multitasking, it's definitely him. Great job as well to his CFI, Austin White! ​

    Miles Soloed!!

    Guess who was up early making solo flight memories? None other than Miles Grieve! He soloed in N328ME at KRTS runway 26! His CFI Maddie Bell had the best seat in the house watching Miles from the ramp. But wait, Miles is no ordinary aviator. He's a RARA scholarship winner! It's like he's got a one-way ticket to aviation success, and he's not wasting a single second in earning his PPL. Miles is working to get his Certificate before he heads back to UNR in the Fall. And let's not forget his superhero alter ego – Miles also proudly serves in the Nevada Air National Guard. And you know what they say, greatness runs in the family! With a family full of go-getters, it's no surprise Miles is conquering the aviation world like a boss. Huge congratulations to Miles Grieve! Keep rocking those wings, Miles, and congratulations to Maddie too – the ultimate flight coach! ​

    Jeff is a Commercial Pilot!!

    Have you heard the news? Jeff McDonald just became a Commercial Pilot! Another successful checkride completed. We can totally imagine him doing those power off 180s, spiraling steep turns, chandelles, and lazy eights like a pro. It's like he's performing an airshow every time he takes off! But let me tell you, there's nothing lazy about this guy – Jeff's got more energy than a room full of hyperactive puppies! He's juggling a UPS truck-driving career and conquering the skies like it's a piece of cake. When he's not flying high, you can find him on the golf course, showing off those smooth swings, or shredding the mountain trails on his mountain bike. He's also the proud owner of a Gen 1 Tacoma that he will never sell (we’ve tried). Congratulations on becoming a Commercial Pilot, Jeff! You earned a week of us not making fun of you in the office, but just a week. And hats off to his CFI, Danny Britson, for being the ultimate flight coach!

Kyra's not just a solo star; she's also a RARA scholarship winner! It's like she's racking up trophies both in the air and on the ground. Kyra’s got the winning spirit! Instead of chilling on the beach this summer, Kyra's all about learning to fly and working hard towards her engineering degree at UNR. Talk about a powerhouse! I wonder if she'll engineer the most awesome aircraft ever! And get this, Kyra's got some unique talents too! Handstand contests? Yep, she's winning those! And as if that wasn't enough, she makes the best banana bread. Seriously, is there anything she can't do? Here's the adorable part – she FaceTimes her dogs back home in Sacramento!
