David fly’s all over the country for his job and each time he goes up follows the flight using various apps. His dad and him were aviation enthusiasts throughout much of his childhood, and his dream has always been to get his Private Pilot Certificate His goal is to one day become an instructor and some day fly up to Alaska in a tailwheel.
He is a professor at Bakersfield College and has been passionate about aviation for over 20 years. His hope is to start up a Aviation program at his college and teach young people about the joys of flying.
Big BFC boo-yahs to Jasper Flesche on his solo at BFL. CFI Tom said he did a great job. Jasper is looking forward to continuing his training and maybe making aviation his career one day (of course, he has to graduate from high school first!). High fives to Jasper!
Huuuuge congrats going out to Marcos Figueroa for successfully passing his CFI checkride with DPE Donna. CFI is one tough program, and the BFC is proud to welcome Marcos in as a new instructor. Marcos plans to make aviation his career, and the addition of the CFI will serve him well in reaching his goals. Way to go, Marcos!
Congrats to NT for becoming the country’s newest private pilot. All the hard work and perseverance paid off. Fly safe!
