“I’ve been fascinated about aviation for my entire life. When I was little, I used to beg my parents to take me to airports to watch the big airliners arrive and depart to places around the globe. When I grew up, I was different from my peers in that I knew exactly what I wanted to be: a professional pilot. When I started college at The Ohio State University, I got to work on my PPL but had to put my plans on hold for the COVID-19 pandemic. I elected to finish my license at Aerodynamic Aviation back home and finally earned my PPL. My future plans are to continue to earn my ratings and pursue my dream of becoming a career pilot, either in the airline, corporate, or cargo fields.” ~ Matthew

A huge congratulations to two of our instructors for earning an instrument rating on their flight instructor certificates. These new CFIIs trained with our Chief Instructor Jen on our new Redbird sim and Cessnas with Garmin 530 and 650. They are very qualified and well-trained on our aircraft and simulators to help you add an instrument rating to your certificate. Way to nail a first-time pass of your checkride with Richard Conte, Cheryl & Zibin!!!
