Huge congratulations to our student Joe, who just passed his Private Pilot License checkride for helicopters! 🚁✨
Joe is already a highly professional jet pilot, cruising at 40,000 feet with ease—but today, we’re celebrating the fact that he’s officially conquered the rotor world too! 🛩➡️🚁
Transitioning from jets to helicopters is no small feat—it’s like going from a spaceship to a magic carpet. The physics feel upside down, and the buttons are definitely in different places 😅 But Joe tackled it all with a calm, focused mindset and a great sense of humor (which definitely helps when the helicopter decides to dance on short final).
We’re so proud of the dedication, humility, and passion he brought to his training. Watching a seasoned aviator take on something completely new is a reminder that true professionals never stop learning. Welcome to the helicopter side, Joe—we’re glad you’re part of our rotorcraft family! 💛
