No, he’s not a fluffy white dog named Mason—but with a name like Mason Maltese, how could we not mention it? Quiet, loyal, and always showing up with a determined spirit, Mason brings all the best qualities of “puppy energy” to the skies (minus the shedding). A Vegas native turned Reno aviator, Mason came up from Vegas to attend the University of Nevada, Reno for school and has been steadily working toward his private pilot license at the same time. Mason’s the kind of student who flies under the radar. He’s incredibly calm, focused, and humble, but I mean it when I tell you there’s been no missing the incredible progress he’s made to get to this milestone. From ground lessons to cross-countries, he’s put in the time, effort, and heart to earn these newfound wings. To celebrate, he’s headed back home to Las Vegas for a well-deserved summer break, and what better way to go home than with a private pilot license in hand! Let’s give Mason and his flight instructor, James Morgan, a huge round of applause for achieving this incredible accomplishment! Awesome work to the both of you!
