Proof That a Dream Can Become a Reality

Jan. 26, 10 p.m.: I can't believe it is already time to leave Skyport and San Marcos, Texas. It seems like we arrived just yesterday. The four weeks we spent at the facility were full of hope, fear, excitement and achievement. Mastering the speed and feel of the airplane was the goal, and it was a time when being stuck at the airport was a great reward. Learning to fly while being surrounded by extremely nice and decent people sharing their expertise and passion was unforgettable. The four weeks of experience gained at Skyport proved to me that yesterday's dream to fly could be a reality tomorrow. It is amazing and I am so thankful. I feel blessed and I am so eager already to come back.
