In 2013 he passed his private and bought into a share of a Cessna 172 and passed my Instrument check ride in June of 2019. He bought a Maule M5, and has been trying to get epic flight video along the way. He’s been able to fly his Dad over the Grand Canyon, fly the Hudson River past Manhattan, circle Kauai, down the Columbia River Gorge, and took his best college friend flying for his 50th birthday in Missouri.”
