Florida

I grew up in Pensacola, home base for Blue Angels training. Since then, I've always had a fascination with aircraft and flying, though never considered that flying was for me.

Not until my friend Tim told me he bought a BlackFly and asked me to get trained to fly it, too. So I checked out videos of the electric aircraft and was convinced of the quality and the safety — and super-stoked to come to Palo Alto for training.

Favorite Place to Fly

I know the exact one: flight #5 in Twisp, Washington. It all came together.

Now I'm flying 250 feet above the water at Amelia Island, seeing whales below me and people on the beach.

I never knew that flying was my thing, until I had this opportunity to fly the BlackFly. It's so darn easy to fly.

My dream flight? Fiji or Tahiti would be amazing.
