Above it All Aviation

SOLO SATURDAYS ✈️

Big congratulations to Emma Ferring on her first solo flight with instructor Skip Bayro!

There’s just something special about watching a student take off alone for the first time. The confidence, the excitement, the huge smile afterward… it never gets old.

Way to go, Emma!

Matt Demer just added another rating to the logbook. Congratulations on passing your Instrument Checkride with instructor Ken Hermann!

One thing we love about Matt’s story? He completed his rating in his own airplane. Dedicated, prepared, and already excited for what’s next in his aviation journey.

Way to go, Matt!

Instrument rated and looking sharp doing it. ✈️
Congratulations to Michael Barnett on passing his instrument checkride earlier this month with instructor Edwin Hale!
One of the great things about Part 61 training is the flexibility to train at your own pace and build aviation into real life — and Michael has done exactly that.
Way to go, Michael! Give him a thumbs up in the comments.

Sometimes all it takes is one flight.

Last week, Torrey took a group of boys from church up flying — not for a lesson, not for business, just to share the joy of aviation and maybe spark something bigger in the next generation.

Judging by the smiles, we’d say it worked.

That’s one of the things we love most about aviation. It inspires confidence, curiosity, adventure, and dreams that feel a whole lot closer once you leave the ground.

✈️ We build confident pilots… and sometimes future ones too.

Another Commercial Pilot in the books!

Congratulations to Antonio Barriga on earning his Commercial Pilot License this month.

Instructor Chema Ruiz is incredibly proud of the work Antonio put in to reach this milestone, and we are too. One more step forward in an exciting aviation journey.

Let’s not overcomplicate it… flying is FUN.
The takeoffs.
The views.
The feeling when everything clicks.
Yes, we train seriously.
But we never forget why people start.

These young pilots are putting in the work and it’s paying off.

Owen Terry just completed his Commercial checkride!

Training at your own pace takes discipline, consistency, and motivation — and Owen has shown all three. We love seeing young aviators stay committed to the process and keep stacking ratings one after another.

Big congratulations to Owen on another major milestone.

✈️ We build confident pilots.

Help us congratulate Owen in the comments!

There’s nothing quite like your first solo.

The nerves.
The excitement.
And then realizing… you just flew the airplane by yourself.

Big congratulations to Cooper Wyatt on his first solo flight with instructor Will Evans at Above It All Aviation. And yes — the shirt tail officially got cut. Tradition matters. ✂️✈️

Pilots, we want to know… where’s your shirt tail now? Still hanging in a frame somewhere? Stored in a box? Tell us in the comments.

Another milestone for Davis Shriver — he earned his Commercial Pilot rating!

Davis has been with us from the beginning, earning his Private Pilot License, Instrument Rating, and now Commercial.

He’s a husband, father, and hardworking professional who still makes time to train, study, and fly. That’s one of the great things about Part 61 training at Above It All Aviation — the flexibility to pursue aviation while still excelling in every other area of life.

Big shoutout to instructor Breck Bradshaw for helping guide Davis along the way.

✈️ We build confident pilots.

Help us congratulate Davis in the comments!

What if May is your reset button?
Not January. Not “someday.”
Right now.
Better weather. Longer days. Open skies.
Let’s go fly.
✈️ We build confident pilots.
