Starting my Aviation journey

Today is quite a happy day for me as I have officially started my aviation journey. Thanks to an organization I’m part of, I have gotten the opportunity to start my journey as a pilot. I flew over San Antonio for about 30 minutes, and even had the awesome chance to land the plane on my first flight. Overall, it was truly an amazing experience and I can’t wait for my next flight.



My dad got this photo of the plane I will be flying in.

And finally, this photo of me landing the plane. Thanks to the organization, and Dr. Benson for this incredible opportunity. I know I will never forget this, and I can’t wait for the future, and more opportunities to continue my dream.

When I was 9 I built a RV12 with this group and flew it with the instructor and I got to land it at 9 years old so hopefully I can get a licens when I can
