The day has finally arrived! On Wednesday, the 11th of this month, I successfully passed the Private Pilot checkride with DPE Jim Bair! It has certainly been a long time coming, but I’m glad to have endured the private pilot journey with so much support around me. I know my aviation journey doesn’t end here, and I could not have wished for a better foundation to continue upon. I’d certainly like to give a big thanks to everyone who helped me get to this point.
In regards to the future, I’ll be attending the University of North Dakota in Grand Forks, ND, pursuing a degree in commercial aviation while also obtaining all the appropriate licenses and qualifications, working toward my goal of one day getting on with the airlines.
