I fell head over heels for aviation the very first time I laid eyes on a Vietnam Airlines 737, its striking blue livery gleaming at an airport. Since that moment, my heart has been firmly set on flying, driven by dreams of soaring high above the clouds. As an immigrant kid who was fortunate enough to move to the land of opportunity, America, I found a wealth of possibilities. Among these, the most significant has been the chance to take to the skies. It was then that I made the conscious decision to make aviation a central part of my life.
Joining Chapter EAA 932 turned out to be a brilliant choice. This step introduced me to a warm and welcoming community of aviation enthusiasts. Within this group, I encountered individuals who were not only passionate about aviation but also eager to share their knowledge and experiences. Their generosity deepened my love for aviation, inspiring me to dive even further into this exhilarating world.
When it comes to my aviation aspirations, they are both lofty and exhilarating. My immediate goal is to obtain my private pilot’s license, a milestone that will open doors to endless possibilities. Looking further ahead, I envision a potential career in commercial aviation, where I can contribute my skills and passion to this dynamic industry. My ultimate dream is to one day pilot the magnificent Wide-body Airbus A350, a vision that keeps my spirits high.
In my journey so far, I’ve had the privilege of attending various aviation events, such as the Annual Flour Drop Event at Galt Airport to captivating fly-ins. These experiences have allowed me to connect with kindred spirits in the aviation community, share stories, and learn valuable insights from seasoned pilots. At present, my primary focus is on my aviation education and training, where I am fully committed to the hard work and dedication required to turn my dream of becoming a certified pilot into reality.
