On June 7th, I ran into Cadet Captain Kramp from my Civil Air Patrol squadron; Steven and I participated in the same squadron cadet program together for about three years. Steven was working part-time as a fuel truck driver at the Leesburg airport, and he refueled my Cessna 172N for me before my flight.
Steven also enrolled at the same flight academy, Aero Elite Flight Training, to learn to fly with the financial support from his part-time job at the airport. This also gave me the idea to help fund my flight lessons next summer, after I complete my solo flight this summer with the support of the scholarship from the Flying Musicians Association.
Where there is a will, there is a way. Your strong desire to fly will materialize. Great story of friends inspiring each other.
