Gio is GBA’s July Pilot of the Month!
Gio is the kind of student every flight school dreams of. He’s dedicated, focused, and somehow always upbeat, even while juggling a full plate. Between serving in the Nevada Air National Guard, training with us here at GBA, and supporting his family, Gio has every excuse to fall behind but instead he’s consistently ahead of the plane, both literally and figuratively. He’s known around GBA not just for his impressive airmanship or his terrible dad jokes, but also his phone curse. For those who remember the infamous Spring 2025 incident, yes—that was Gio’s phone that went flying off the taxiway and ended up near the threshold of 35R (huge thanks to Reno Ops for the recovery assist). And if you’re wondering: “Has he lost his phone another time?” the answer is unfortunately yes… Gio dropped another poor phone soul in the river over the 4th of July weekend. Despite his phone saga, Gio has stayed locked in on his training. Richard even told us that Gio had “one of the best mock checkrides he’s ever seen” for PPL. Congrats, Gio! You’ve more than earned this recognition and we can’t wait to see you dominate your PPL checkride!
