We love to celebrate... YOU! * It doesn't take an event as monumental as a flight test to warrant a celebration (although those are amazing to celebrate!). If you landed for the first time by yourself ... solo flying ... if you nailed a cross country within 2 minutes of your planned time... if you improved your "Met" section practice exam by 2%

... if you got an interview with a company and you're looking for support.. whatever it is, let us know so we can celebrate and send encouragement! Do you have an incredible photo you want to share? Send in your, photos, your milestones and celebrations big and small to waterloogrand@gmail.com and let us cheer along with you!
