I guess you could say that flying is in my blood. My dad has been flying for 37 years as a GA pilot, and when I was born, I became his frequent flyer. My grandfather was also a pilot, he got his license at 13 years old. I have been flying for five years now and can’t get enough of it. I wouldn’t be flying today if it weren’t for the amazing community that aviation creates. I have found friendships through flying that will last a lifetime. I love sharing flying with my friends who haven’t had the opportunity. There are a million opportunities out there and a million memories to make!
June challenge: Land on grass strips
Our award-winning AOPA app is the perfect on-the-go pilot companion. Explore new places to fly and use Pilot Passport to check in at airports you visit to earn points, badges, and rewards.
Use the app’s Pilot Passport feature to check in at airports with grass strips in June. The top three participants with the most grass strip airport check-ins will win a $50 AOPA Pilot Gear gift card.
The AOPA Pilot Passport program on the AOPA app encourages pilots to check in at different types of airports; land at airports across your state; visit airports across the country; and share your experiences by rating the airport, uploading photos, and posting comments of social media (use #AOPAPilotPassport in your posts).
