“My grandfather was a fighter pilot and I’ve been enamored by aviation since I can remember. I never seriously considered becoming a pilot before a casual intro flight during Christmas of last year. That flight sparked my interest in flying myself for the freedom and fun it provides. It was definitely a challenging 2020, but thanks to everyone at Aerodynamic, and particularly Mitchell, it was a very rewarding journey.” ~Dima

New Private Pilot – Heather Hayden
Nov 10 2020Date: October 31, 2020
Instructors: Jen Watson & Ivan Stanojevic
Aircraft: Citabria N2508Z
The challenge of learning in a conventional airplane (aka tailwheel or taildragger) is worth the time and dedication when you turn out pilots as accomplished as Heather. Despite various setbacks throughout training (a broken wrist from playing sports, forest fires, weather challenges, a pandemic, etc.), she persevered to become a lady taildragger pilot on her first checkride attempt. We love having Heather as part of our family and hope she enjoys many years flying around and exploring California. CONGRATS!!!
