“Today is the first day of the rest of your life.”

It was her first flight physical and her sweater caught my eye. She allowed me to photograph this moment and she rocked her exam. Congrats ✈️

✂️🛩️ Why We Cut the Shirt After a Solo Flight

One of aviation’s oldest (and most beloved) traditions is the solo shirt cutting. After a student completes their very first solo flight, the instructor cuts off the back of their shirt — and here’s why:

Before airplanes had radios, instructors sat behind their students and would tug on their shirts to get their attention or give direction.
Once a student flew solo, it meant they no longer needed those “tugs,” so the instructor cut the shirt to symbolize their independence and readiness to fly on their own.

The shirt-tail is usually decorated, signed, and proudly hung as a permanent reminder of that huge milestone.

Celebrating the holidays with the family tonight reminded me how special this group is. ✈️❤️ It’s not just about flying—it’s about the friendships and the family we’ve built along the way.

Happy Holidays and let the season of celebration begin!

🎥 I sat down with Whitney Sanford for a conversation we all need this time of year: understanding food triggers, navigating holiday eating, fueling strength training, and tuning in when your body is craving protein.
Awareness is everything. 💛

So proud of my friend Nicole — one of the best connections I’ve made in this pilot community. ✈️💛

She just passed her Part 135 check ride… single-pilot IFR, steam gauges, no autopilot. That’s real stick-and-rudder flying, and she handled it like an absolute pro.

Cheers to strong women in aviation, pushing boundaries and lifting each other up. 🛫💪✨

Here’s to Nicole — and to the friendships this community gives us.

Just wrapped up the Pacific Northwest Aerial Applicators Alliance conference and wow—what a deep dive into the world of agricultural aviation! Learned so much about the tech, safety, and skill behind crop dusting. These pilots are truly the unsung heroes of the ag world. 🚜✈️

✈️ Pilot Health Spotlight ✈️
Bill was gracious enough to volunteer for this interview tonight. We talked about his journey with sleep apnea and weight loss using a GLP-1, and how much life has changed for him since starting the process.

💉 With careful monitoring, we were able to stay FAA compliant throughout—and today, he sits 80 pounds lighter and feeling better than ever.

It’s incredible to see pilots taking charge of their health and proving that wellness and aviation can go hand in hand.

🛩️ Excited to share my latest article on the HIMS Program published in the Ninety-Nines magazine! 💙

The piece highlights how this incredible program helps pilots regain not just their medical certificates, but their confidence, purpose, and wings.

It’s an honor to shine a light on the work being done to support aviators in recovery — a reminder that no one has to navigate turbulence alone. ✈️

🎈Last night at the CDA Airport Association meeting, we heard from a fascinating guest speaker who has recovered over 93 weather balloons in just 3 years!

These high-altitude balloons help track temperature, pressure, humidity, and wind — critical data for forecasting and aviation safety. 🌤️✈️

Each one climbs more than 100,000 feet before bursting and drifting back to Earth by parachute. Many even have recovery instructions so the equipment can be tracked and reused.

Such a fun reminder of how science, aviation, and curiosity all come together — sometimes landing right in our own backyard!
