Honored to be part of the Professional Fixed-Wing Pilot program at Lake Area Technical College! Proud of our instructors, classmates, and everyone who helped create a culture focused on success, growth, and helping each other reach our goals. Grateful to be part of a program making a real impact.
We had a great time participating in the Grad Fest parade! Our students had a blast representing the program and celebrating with the community.
Potluck time! The aviation program hosted a potluck last week filled with great food and even better company.
We also created a video introducing some of our students and CFIs, check it out to meet some of the people in our program!

Yesterday our students got to hear from two pilots from Dakota Air Spray Wahpeton about how their company operates and what a day to day looks like. Students enjoyed learning about the Ag side of aviation and taken notes on a possible future career! Thank you Dakota Air Spray!

After countless hours under the hood, learning to trust their instruments and stay precise in every phase of flight, today it all paid off. CFII Tyler Kingery sent them off this morning to earn their instrument ratings, and they are now ready for the next challenge. Congratulations, Danielle and Alivia—we are so proud!
