What a milestone! ✈️
Today at Smartair, this absolute gun completed his first solo flight at just 15 years old.
He can’t even get his learner’s licence in NSW yet… but today he flew an aircraft by himself.
We couldn’t be prouder, such a massive effort, huge achievement, and an exciting future ahead. We are over the moon for you Mason Burns. Well done from us all 👏👏
