The amount of gratitude I have for so many members of Smokehouse Pilots is immense.

Today, my mentee, Kovas came to Leesburg Airport so we could “show him around”

He got far more than that … thank you to all of you who came out and shared your wisdom and advice with Kovas as to how to become a pilot and ultimately fulfill his dream of being an airline pilot

Thanks to John Quaine and your generosity, brother, for getting Kovas his first flight ever in a small airplane, which was with Charlie Bobbish of Aero Elite Flight Training! After everyone left, Kovas shared with me that this was the best day ever…. All because of some amazing members of Smokehouse Pilots. Thank you all!! ✈️🙏🏻✈️🙏🏻✈️

He already said “I’ve already texted everyone I know telling them I flew an airplane today!!” 😀😀😀❤️❤️

THIS is what it is all about ✈️👍🏻 all of you are now part of Kovas’ aviation journey 👊🏼👊🏼

Two very enthusiastic thumbs up! Love this school and the guys/gals that run it!

The pile is getting bigger!!

Only a few days left to get those gently-used baby and toddler supplies to one of our drop off locations.

If you can’t make it to a drop off spot, no sweat! We’ll happily arrange a pick up at your location!

Out of approximately 331 million people, there are only 633,000 active pilots in the United States.*

Using math we can figure out that (633,000 / 331,000,000) * 100 = 0.191% or, said another way:

You're not in the majority.

*Data from the US Census Bureau and the Federal Aviation Administration as of 2020.
