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.
Kinda reminds me of Darth Vader – “Luke…it is your destiny”
More to come on this local family steeped in aviation…
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).
