Closing this chapter as a flight instructor. Grateful for every student who trusted me with their training - you all made me a better pilot and a better person. Being a CFI isn’t for the weak especially with no A/C in Arizona 💀
But, I loved every minute of it. Thanks for the memories, and a big thank you to @iflysca. On to the next adventure ✈️ taken in Scottsdale, Arizona by @pilotmatty13

Flo,
It’s hard to find words…
happy heavenly birthday.
I miss and cherish all of your random phone calls, talents, languages, and all of the spontaneous adventures we had.
We’ve traveled all over the world together and I’m so grateful for those memories.
It’s been a few months without you now and I’m heartbroken that you’re not here. It’s hard to imagine a life without my best friend but I’m going to continue to make you proud.
I know you’re loving time with our moms and my brother - give them a hug for me, I know y’all are having the best time up there! Love you forever Florian and Happy 29th Birthday 🫶🏻 by @pilotmatty13

Taking flight for a cause! 🛩️ Pilots To The Rescue is proud to introduce our newest initiative - @OutstandingAviators. Beyond their prowess in the skies, an Outstanding Aviator stands out for the positive ripples they create in the world. Community impact is at the heart of what makes an aviator truly exceptional.

As we scout for these trailblazers, a significant emphasis will be on how they've given back to their community. From fostering aviation education to uplifting those around them, their stories inspire and resonate with our core mission.

Swipe to see some of our incredible nominees who've joined us on life-saving missions, rescuing animals from the brink of euthanasia.

Do you know a pilot who's not only conquering the skies but also making a tangible difference in their community? Nominate them now at OutstandingAviators.org! As we journey through this initiative, we're determined to spotlight those who fly with purpose and compassion. 🌍❤️
