CFI Mark Jaeger advises that his student and Gopher Flying Club member David Riley passed his private pilot checkride on Wednesday, October 25, 2018.

David has been dreaming about being a pilot for many years and he finally made it happen through his hard work and determination.  Way to go David!!

Congratulations are in order for Gopher Flying Club CFI Mark Jaeger who can now add another ‘I’ to his certificates.  On 10/13/2018 after many delays due to the recent dreary weather, Mark was able to sneak in his CFII checkride with DPE Barb Mack at Anoka.  Well done Mark.  Is MEI next???

Think he is excited?

It is safe to say Dr. Stephen Menya was fairly pleased to have reached a life goal of piloting an aero plane with his Solo at KMIC on Saturday, 9/29/18. Dr. Menya has wanted to fly since he witnessed mission pilots coming and going from his village in Kenya as a boy. Congratulations Stephen!
