Flying Airplanes

I began my flying journey in May 2016. I solo'd in August of that year. Over the fall, winter, and early spring I completed groundschool and finished up the other requirements to earn my wings in April 2017 (Private Pilot Certification - Airplane Single Engine Land). I loved every minute of it!

My favorite flights include a trip down to McMinville, Oregon (KMMV) to fly through the totality of the solar eclipse, a flight to Shelton, WA (KSHN) to go skydiving, a formation flight out of Skagit Regional Airport (KBVS), the flight where I was cleared into the SeaTac class Bravo airspace, and the numerous flights enjoying the spectacular views of the Puget Sound region.

There are a variety of awesome restaurants around the Puget Sound region located on or near airports. I would recommend Ellie's at the Airport (Arlington Municipal Airport - KAWO), Mukilteo Coffee Roasters (Whidbey Air Park - W10), and the Spruce Goose Café (Jefferson County International - 0S9). All of these are worth visiting more than once!

The freedom of the skies, the magnificent views, the intellectual challenge, the learning, the growth, the fun, the community, and the 'Americana' of it all drew me into the world of aviation. I love it!
