Today I passed my Private Pilot Checkride and officially became a Private Pilot. ✅✈️ What an incredible journey this has been. It took some time to get here while working full time and finishing my doctorate, but today it all paid off. Huge thank you to the friends and instructors who helped me along the way. Thank you to Arthur Paley phila_skywalker and Pafos Fly pafosfly for starting me on this journey, and to my instructor Patrick Williams paw1290 for his guidance and patience throughout my training. And thank you to the amazing DPE Greg Hill for a great checkride today at KMJX. Grateful for everyone who supported me along the way. On to the next chapter in the sky. #privatepilot #pilotlife #aviation #newpilot #generalaviation studentpilot checkride flywithme aviationlife pilottraining aviationjourney ppl flying avgeek
