Apr 12 2019Solo Date: March 24, 2019
Aircraft: Cessna 172 – N54102

Henry has sought to fly ever since he could first point to the Southwest 737s on approach to San Jose. For many years, he would only fly on flight simulators and take any opportunity to visit the airport to watch the commercial jets land at San Francisco. Every time he would fly, he would look up to the captains with reverence for their awe-inspiring jobs. He is excited to proceed with his career in aviation, and pursue at job at the commercial airlines.
