โ๏ธ Some journeys start with a single flight โ and this time, it was enough to bring someone back.
Kim ๐ญ๐ฐ had done a trial flight with us before, and that one taste of the sky stuck with him. When it came time to choose where to train, one thing made the decision easy โ finding out our Head of Operations is from Hong Kong, just like him. Suddenly, everything felt a little more comfortable, a real sense of warmth.
Ask Kim what he loves about flying, and it's simple: the feeling of controlling the machine, the view from up above, unlike anything else. He's now working towards his first solo, and while his instructors have made it a priority to give him as much hands-on flying time as possible, he'll be the first to admit โ circuits are no joke. Managing everything at once, all in the same breath, has been his biggest challenge yet.
Then there's Hayden ๐ญ๐ฐ, who's brought his own story all the way from Canada. Studying towards a future in aviation engineering, he figured real flying experience would only make him a better engineer down the line. But there was another reason he packed his bags โ he hadn't seen his friend Kim in a long time, and when the chance came to fly together in Australia, he wasn't going to miss it.
For Hayden, the hardest part so far? Getting the radio calls to tower just right, and remembering every flow check before the engine even starts.
Two friends, two different reasons, one shared sky โ chasing their first solo, together.
Welcome, Kim and Hayden. ๐ฉ๏ธ
