“I grew up on air bases and have been an aviation nut for as long as I can remember. It has been a life-long goal of mine to become a licensed pilot. I finally found the right period of life, right school, and right instructor. My family and I are excited to take trips and see more of our country through general aviation.” ~ Robert
New Private Pilot – Bentley Mundle

Certification: Private Pilot
Instructors: Martin, Jamie & Ben
Aircraft: Cessna N53456
Another Monterey pilot earns their wings with DPE Eric Cook! Congrats to Bentley and his instructors on a job well done.
“Growing up I always had a fascination with aviation and thought my Dad had the coolest job as a pilot for United Airlines. The timing of graduating high school, 9/11, and the down turn in the aviation industry led me to follow in the footsteps of both of my grandfathers as a PGA Professional. Ten plus years later I still think my Dad has the coolest job and I’m excited to make a career change and chase my childhood dream of becoming a professional pilot!” ~ Bentley

First Solo Flight – Josh Bellinger
Dec 22 2016
Solo Date: December 12, 2016
Aircraft: Cessna 172
Instructor: Jamie Redding
Location: Monterey, CA (KMRY)
Congrats to Josh on his first solo flight! Instructor Jamie watched from below as Josh flew full-stop takeoffs and landings at Monterey’s class C airport.
“I grew up in Monterey and studied civil engineering at Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo. I worked as a structural engineer after graduation from college, got my engineering license, and eventually became a project manager for a local general contractor. My interest in flying began in 2014, just for fun, and then eventually, I got hooked! My plan is to continue training for my private pilots license. If all goes well, I would like continue my training further. Originally, I wanted to fly so that I could visit family. Now, I just love to fly because it is so much fun. Everyone in the flying community has been very supportive, and I am so very grateful to everyone at Aerodynamic Aviation whom has helped me on my journey into aviation.” ~ Josh
