Hi,
I'm Gabe, a student pilot at KHWD.
Less than 0.01% of the world becomes a pilot. It's rarer than you think and harder than it looks.
I've been training for 3 months, and in that time I've learned that flying isn't just a hobby. It's failures, responsibilities, amazing people, and moments in the air that change how you see everything.
So I'm documenting it all here.
Every week, you'll get:
A pilot story from someone flying in the Bay Area (student, CFI, airline - doesn't matter)
My personal training updates (1-2x/week when I fly)
Local airport news, NOTAMs, weather, $100 burger runs
This is a community for pilots to share what it's really like up here.
Reply and tell me: What’s your home airport?
Fly safe,
Gabriel
P.S. - Know another Bay Area pilot? Forward this to them.
