Although pilots are busy flying and controllers are working to keep everyone safe in the sky, the holidays bring a spirit of comradery and mutual respect.\u00a0 A simple wish of “Happy Holidays” heard over the comms is enough to brighten up a long cross country flight.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
And if you’re flying at night, the lights down below as you travel from town to town can’t be beat.\u00a0 So, if you’re a student pilot working on your private pilot rating, get out there and get your rating so you can enjoy all the wonders of the season.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
No matter what you do this season, happy holidays to you and your family.\u00a0 We hope you stay safe and healthy.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
