First Solo Flight – Cameron Fitchener

Solo Date: June 8, 2021
Aircraft: Cessna N9027H
Instructor: Graham Harbman
Location: San Jose, CA (KRHV)

Cameron knew he would one day learn to fly, ever since he flew in the right seat beside his Dad at a young age. Now with a family of his own, he hopes to pass on the same passion for aviation to his children and open up a world of adventure for his family. Congrats on this first milestone!!

New Private Pilot – Mihaela Popescu-Stanesti

Jun 14 2021
Date: May 8, 2021
Instructors: Lynzie Hudson and more
Aircraft: Cessna N12234

Mihaela summoned up the courage to take her private pilot checkride, and PASSED! Mihaela did so much of her flight training over the last 5 years with her CFIs’ babies in the back of the plane it was fitting that the kids accompanied her to the checkride in Salinas. She will be able to fly off on mountain biking and triathlon adventures, and she looks forward flying aerobatics and getting checked out in tailwheel and the C182.
Thanks to AeroDynamic instructors Lynzie Hudson, Jason Brown, Sara Stumpf, Mitchell Templeton, Kat Hanlon
Congratulations Mihaela!

New Private Pilot – Matt Cole

Instructor: Scott Holland
Aircraft: Citabria N2508Z

“Flying was something that I always wanted to do because of my Grandfather, Lt Col Hillary Cole. He always had so many war stories flying planes in WWII, or the Korean War. One of my favorites was when he met my grandmother and flew over with a training Jet and tipped his wings to impress my grandmother while she was sunbathing in Wisconsin. He was larger than life and a big inspiration to me. I feel very fortunate to have had him in my life and to have been able to share with him that I was also training to become a pilot before he passed away. Right now, my wife Lindsey and I are planning to use my PPL to explore California. Soon, I plan on getting an instrument rating and a mountain checkout so that we can fly more often and to more places. In the future, I see myself becoming a CFI and training new students just like my CFI, Scott Holland. Thank you Aerodynamic, I’m looking forward to my next rating!” ~Matt
