Hello everyone, my name is Michael Craig and I recently achieved my instrument rating in our family owned A-36. I started my aviation journey at 16 years old and immediately caught the aviation bug. I’ve just begun my commercial training and my end goal is to become an Airline Capitan. I can honestly say that the flying community is full of amazing people, and even at my young age I’ve always felt welcomed. Besides my aviation journey, I started a small business on the side making 3D printed wall art of personal aircrafts. Also I’m big into anything RC. I have to say, I look forward to learning and contributing to this group

Welcome Michael and a sincere thank you from a 69 year old pilot who is encouraged to know that there ARE young people out there who embrace, promote and participate in general and commercial aviation's future. It's refreshing, encouraging and rewarding to share the torch with you.

Find Nick Massios, or his father Scott Massios on here or FB. His story is just like yours, except he's 7 years further into it. Landed at a major last year.
Congrats on your progress so far, the IFR ticket is the toughest one IMHO, it's smooth sailing from here.
