Help us give a big GBA shoutout to Ryan Madole, who just earned his Private Pilot Certificate! Ryan has been the epitome of quiet determination throughout his training, steadfast, focused, and all in. Whether he’s fly fishing in the great outdoors, strumming his guitar, or jamming out to some good ol’ country music, Ryan brings a calm, steady energy that served him well in the cockpit. With the guidance of CFI Andrew Spanier, Ryan put in the time, effort, and heart it takes to reach this milestone. He showed up, stayed motivated, and never let a rough day knock him off course. His journey wasn’t about checking a box; it was about growth, skill, and purpose. And now, he’s got the certificate to prove it. So what’s next? Military? Civilian? Whichever runway Ryan decides to take, we know it’ll be one with direction and meaning. He’s not just another pilot; he’s a pilot with purpose. And whether he’s flying high or kicking back with some country tunes, we know his path is going to be a good one. Congrats again, Ryan! Your hard work and humble spirit have truly stood out, and we can’t wait to see where you go from here.
