Proud of my little girl!
She never liked school. Smart as a whip but school never challenged her enough.
So after a series of events starting with a broke truck on vacation and the subsequent commercial flight to pick it up after repairs, turns out my little girl was fascinated with flight. She already flew the drone. Then she got her drone license and latched on to all the aviation jargon. After high school she didn't really want to attend college but I made her since it was paid for. She got a job working in flight operations with a local helicopter company flying to offshore oil rigs. She loved it. She signed up with the local fixed wing flight school since she works next door to the air port. Work was great and at 20 years old she was promoted to the first management level over operations. Yesterday evening, 21 years old and 1 day, she made her first solo flight in the little Vans RV12 with excellent weather conditions (except for summer temps). It took a little while but she finally found her passion!
