It’s been such a busy week I forgot to post these pictures! NHS returned to Colonial Acres on Wednesday to clean up their outdoor courtyard area. It was a lot of hard work but we found some snails (actually a ton of snails), spruced up the koi pond, and ended up with a trailer full+ six garbage cans full of leaves and dead plants. It was a very fulfilling experience and the students were so proud of how nice it looked afterwards. Then we were rewarded with tacos! Thanks to Bonnie Blecha and CANH!!

National Honor Society had a ton of fun with these awesome ladies at Colonial Acres today. They made treats, hung out in the courtyard, listened to oldies (and Britney Spears), and had a lot of laughs! Thanks to Bonnie Blecha for getting everything together- the kids can’t wait to go back!

2021 HTRS Grad Natalie Novak still doing great things! Way to go Nat, we’re proud of you!

Hoosier Aviation has some exciting news to share..
We would love to introduce you all to our new Chief Flight Instructor Natalie Novak.
Natalie is from Dawson, Nebraska. She went to Kansas State University where she graduated Summa Cum Laude with a Bachelor’s of Science in Aeronautical Technologies and a minor in Aviation Safety. While there she got her Commerical and Certified Flight Instructor certificates along with her instrument and multi-engine ratings. Additionally, she has her high performance, complex and tailwheel endorsements. For her future career goals, she either wants to enter fire aviation and fly Single Engine Air Tankers or work for the United State Forestry Service in another aviation role.

A little fun fact about Natalie is she was four years old the first time she flew a plane. She comes from an aviation family so when her family took trips in their family plane, a Piper Comanche, her brother would get to sit up front with her dad. When she was three, she decided that she wanted to fly up front but her brother declared she had to be four years old to be the copilot. Shortly after her 4th birthday, her brother thought she had forgotten about the age requirement, but her brother was surprised when she announced it was her turn to be copilot since she was now four. Her parents agreed, so her brother got demoted and she got to fly a plane for the first time.
Both of Natalie’s parents are pilots. They both inspired her to join the world of aviation. One of Natalie’s favorite things to do is fly their family Cessna 120 with her dad and loves showing him up on landings. Her mom has always supported her in all of her decisions and has been an amazing role model from day one.
We are all so excited and happy to welcome Natalie to our Hoosier Aviation Family!!
