Aspiring Aviator


Most aspiring aviators, have a moment in time when they remember the birth of the dream to become a pilot. Mine was around 6 years old. Eyes, always to the sky, and my dream of someday flying a helicopter. I never really dreamt about flying fixed wing, it was always a helicopter. My official journey began when I was 11, when my mother made a small dream come true. As a beautiful single mother, she was able to get a pilot of a crop dusting chopper in West Phoenix, to give us a ride. It was a highlight of my life, and I was hooked. It fed my obsession with flying. And the journey begins..... So stay tuned for more snippets of my journey to become a helicopter pilot. And the significance that my mother plays in achieving that dream.
