Did June gloom come early???

It has been a really strange month with quite a few storms and cloudy weather, almost feels like June gloom came early. It is also a perfect time for our IFR students to get some actual IMC flying. We have several students starting on June 1 on their flight portions and a few more that are completing the ground class and will start flying soon.

We have had a few more new private pilots! Our Canadian friend, Chad Elwood earned his wings with CFI Nick and had a great checkride with DPE Andrea.

17 year old Jordan Pastor earned his wings with CFI Nick and DPE Andrea

Ken Johnson has completed the difficult first checkride earning his Private Pilots license with CFI Matt and DPE Andrea.

Other items of interest:

We are getting closer to our first class for the Professional Pilot Program. This program will take you from 0 hours to 250 hours in 150 days. and CFI 30 days after that. The airlines are expecting a hiring boom in the near future and this is the perfect time to start your career.

We are continuing to add to our programs of interest, we are in the development stage of adding the Airline Career prep class. This class will prepare you for both the airline interview and the ground class.

We are also getting closer to our approval of issuing M-1 visas and the start of our international pilot program.

June 9th is the 2nd annual Mud Run here at the airport. We will be relocating a few aircraft to Riverside for those who want to fly that day. If you are in the area, come on by and checkout the static displays, beer garden, food truck vendors and of course, the mud run. It should be a great day for everyone!
