School Location: San Jose, CA (KRHV)
We love making pilots. It feeds our flight school soul. We are delighted to introduce our newest pilot success story – Anand! He and CFI Bradley worked incredibly hard to make this checkride happen, especially getting all the requirements done with the weeks of stormy weather cancelling many of his planned solo cross-country flights. Well done on working through the challenges and passing your checkride on the first attempt!

Another pilot earns his wings! A big “waaahoooo” to Stephen and CFI Tyler on a job well done. We hope Stephen enjoys his first set of wings and exploring the countryside from the air. That $300 hamburger tastes so good when you didn’t need an endorsement to fly there!

Just a short while after completing her first solo, Jenna devoted every moment of her free time (and some not-so-free time) to studying and flying. It paid off with a first-time pass of her Private Pilot checkride with Alaska DPE Carol. We are incredibly proud of her achievement. It gives us some big bragging rights, too 😉 Way to go, Jenna!!!
