Congratulations to Bahaaddin Ben Khaleel and Ruan Vosloo! ✈️🎓👏

A proud day at the Algoa Flying Club as Bahaaddin Ben Khaleel and Ruan Vosloo successfully achieved their Grade 2 Flight Instructor Upgrade with an Instrument Instructor Endorsement on 15 August 2026! 🛩️🌟

This is a remarkable achievement that reflects their dedication, knowledge, skill and passion for aviation. Becoming an instructor is about more than flying an aircraft — it is about sharing knowledge, inspiring confidence and helping shape the next generation of pilots. With their Instrument Instructor endorsements, they now take on an even greater role in guiding pilots through the challenges and precision of instrument flying.

“Flying is more than a sport and more than a job; flying is pure passion and desire, which fill a lifetime.”
— General Adolf Galland

And as Chuck Yeager so perfectly said:

“There is no such thing as a natural born pilot... becoming a proficient pilot was hard work, really a lifetime’s learning experience. For the best pilots, flying is an obsession.”
— Chuck Yeager

Congratulations, Bahaaddin and Ruan! Your hard work and commitment to continual learning have taken you to this exciting new level. May you continue to inspire, teach and guide countless pilots while pursuing your own passion for the skies.

The greatest instructors never stop learning — they simply gain more experience to share. Keep climbing, keep teaching, and keep inspiring. The sky is yours! ✈️☁️
