Happy National Aviation Day!

Howdy everyone!

In this post on this epic Monday, I want you to share your greatest moments from Aviation! This can be related to Infinite Flight or IRL!

I’ll start!

This year has had some of the greatest moments for me as a student pilot working towards my commercial license and an Aviation Enthusiast!

I’ve gotten to fly in the northern lights

Fly across Utah on a 7+ hour solo



Finally got to fly on the 737 Max for the first time


And I’ve been able to see many rare aircraft from both my jobs and Maui








Infinite Flight has also been a big part in Aviation for me this year. I’ve gotten to meet many people who love Aviation as much as I do through the community and in person! I’m also grateful for all the hard work the developers have done for both Infinite Flight and the community!

I’m also grateful for all the friends I’ve made here in the community over the last couple of years. I’m not gonna ping anyone because frankly, I don’t remember all their names 😵‍💫.

Hope you all have a great Aviation Day!

Mine all take place in IF and I’d say it’s been community events, meeting new people and flying with friends for me. (PS: Happy aviation day to you as well).

Nice post and happy National Aviation Day! I have a few moments in aviation that have stood out to me in life:

  • When I had the privilege when I was little to make an announcement.
  • Touring the Delta Headquarters Training Center.
  • Being able to fly the A320neo this year.
  • Numerous cockpit visits.

And of course, Infinite Flight!
