A huge congratulations to Yulia, San Diego’s newest certificated pilot! She has put in an incredible amount of hard work, juggling a full-time job while overcoming countless aviation hurdles—weather delays, stall horns, examiner scheduling, and more. Yet, through it all, she stayed positive and aced both her oral and practical exams on the first try, with flying colors! Join me in giving Yulia a well-deserved round of applause for her dedication and success!
