AOPA reposted this
I'm excited to announce I've received my multi-engine add-on! Thank you to AOPA for funding this training through the inaugural Richard McSpadden Scholarship for Advanced Flight Training. Special thanks to my previous instructors Gregory Dolan and Garrett Spurlin who established a foundation of safety and professional flying skills and helped me win the scholarship. While I've learned a great deal, I recognize there's always more to develop as a pilot. I'll be using the remaining scholarship funds to get my tailwheel endorsement before summer.

To me, there’s no question which pilot had the most distinguished career in aviation—the ace of aces, Snoopy: https://bit.ly/43jVe7O #flywithaopa #aviation #avgeek #aopa #flying #snoopy #aviator #pilot

Our eyes don’t see as well at night and as pilots (not pirates) we must take action to see as well as possible when flying under those conditions. The good news is there are steps we can take that don’t involve eye patches. Read more here: https://bit.ly/4k6LROU #FlywithAOPA #ASI #Safety #TrainingTuesday #Aviation #AvGeek
