LOOK WHO’S A BRAND NEW PRIVATE PILOT!!!
Brand new Private Pilot certificate in hand! This was taken right after Blake passed
his check-ride. CONGRATULATIONS BLAKE! Great work.
LOOK WHO’S LEARNING TO FLY…
Kate comes from a looooong line of pilots and has recently decided to continue the trend.
From the looks of it, she’s been bouncing around in airplanes since before she could walk!
On her fathers side:.
Her father received his pilot certificate here in Valdosta in 1988 andis an active local pilot.
Her grandfather and grandmother both became pilots in the late 50’s/early 60’s and her
great grandfather was a WW1 pilot!
On her mothers side:
Her grandmother learned to fly here in Valdosta around 1990.
More to come on this local family steeped in aviation…
Truly remarkable HD video of B-17 & B-25!

LOOKS WHO’S A BRAND NEW PRIVATE PILOT!!!
This picture was taken just after Steven (left) passed his Private Pilot check-ride.
CONGRATULATIONS STEVEN!! Great job to both you and your instructor (Cliff).
Steven’s been training with us for a while and he and Cliff have been taking all kinds of
pictures and video but haven’t come off any of the footage till now??!! Expect to see a
lot of cool stuff from he and Cliff coming up.
LOOK WHO’S FLYING…
UPDATE! Conner just soloed!!! Congratulations on your first flight alone! It’s always more
peaceful when that jabbering instructor gets out 😉
He’s a little camera shy but I finally got him. Conner has been close to aviation (“friends in
low places” as the saying goes) for a long time and finally jumped in with both feet. He’s
about to solo if the weather would just cooperate. I’ll get a better shot when he least expects
it!
LOOK WHO’S FLYING…
THIS JUST IN!! International man of interest spotted fooling around with airplanes at the
Valdosta Region Airport.
Jeff Worn can speak with authority on the benefits of private flying vs the airlines. Not long
after his first solo, his training got unexpectedly delayed by an airline related fiasco.
Glad to have you back Jeff!
Jeff’s instructor Cliff Lee, the guy in the (i do believe that’s magenta) shirt, is the real trouble
maker in this shot.
Ospreys at KVLD!
We had a chance to fuel these bad boys and see them up close.
They are MUCH bigger than they appear. Very cool machines!!
A typical lesson (prior to solo) involves approximately 1 hour of ground school going over the planned flight, flying for approximately 1 hour and approximately 1/2 hour ground discussing the flight and planning the next lesson. After soloing, the lessons will focus on cross-country planning and flying and the lessons will be longer (more ground school and longer flights).
