This was Joe’s second time to ever fly an aircraft. The look on his face speaks volumes about the enjoyment derived from this profession. Teaching is a rewarding and enjoyable experience. It becomes even more fulfilling when students are provided with an environment that fosters learning, allows for mistakes, encourages inquiry, and teaches best practices before entering the world as a licensed professional pilot. I would like to extend my gratitude to all the Professors and CFIs I have had the pleasure of learning from over the years.
