Tennessee Flight Training

Back to Flying!

Hi everyone,

I know it’s been a while, but I have some exciting news! After trying to settle into college a little bit, I’ll have a whole different post on that, I’ve been trying to fly again. Right now I am setting things up with Tennessee Flight Training.

Tennessee Flight Training is a flight school out of BNA in Nashville, and the owner happens to be Chris Erlanson, a fellow FMA member. How crazy is that?! I just love that FMA has a whole community, spread across the country. I am set to have my first flight with them this upcoming Tuesday and continue and grow on my aviation journey. 

In college I’ve met some really cool people, including my friend Elisa who currently has her private pilot’s license. 

I recently had lunch with my friend Elsia. It was really cool to hear her own aviation journey and where she is now — another freshman at Vanderbilt, continuing with aviation in her free time. Like me, she was racing against the clock this Summer to make big steps in her aviation journey. It just worked out that she was able to get her private pilot’s license 2 days before leaving for college. How amazing is that? I’m just super glad that we were able to come across each other on campus and find out that we were both pilots. She offered that someday when our schedules align that she will take me up flying with her and I know I will hold her to that. 

I’m super excited to continue my aviation journey, and I will keep you updated on what happens.

Hi! My name is Jovie and I am an aspiring pilot and avid musician. I have been playing flute for the past eight years, and more recently have added on piccolo. I play in the top orchestra in my school, am in my school’s chamber club and have been part of many youth orchestras around Seattle over the years. I have also spent time tutoring flute to elementary school students. For the past several years I have been interested in aerospace, namely fluid dynamics and model rocketry, but since then, I have realized that what I like to do best is truly experience my accomplishments. So, I have turned to aviation, and becoming a pilot. In the fall, I will attend Vanderbilt university where I plan to major in mechanical engineering and minor in music performance while still managing to get in flight hours.
