New Private Pilot – Matt Cole
Mar 03 2021Date: February 4, 2021
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

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!!!
