Congratulations to Hetal Mistry, 16 on your solo!

/

Many many congratulations to Hetal Mistry, 16 for completing her first solo at Flight Training London based at Elstree. Hetal has very much enjoyed her flying training so far and hopes to become a commercial pilot.

“I’d say I’m probably quite adventurous, I like trying new things. And at first I thought I’d just do this as a side thing, I still want to go to uni – not necessarily to do a pilot related degree – but I think I’ll enjoy this much more than anything else I do.”

There is no one reason why I am learning to fly; it is the whole embodiment of aviation that has always fascinated me. I am lucky that I have been able to learn to fly at this stage of my life, knowing that I still have so much to explore and discover.
