Abhi is a Pilot!
If there's one thing that Abhi excels at, it's setting a goal and sticking to a timeline! Balancing a busy life between flight lessons, studying for school, as well as ROTC duties, he made the commitment to finish his PPL training before leaving for Med School, and we...
Mike is a Pilot!
Some view getting their pilot license as an end goal. It is certainly a remarkable achievement but it is really a new beginning. Once you’re a pilot you will always be a pilot (licenses don’t expire!) and you’ll never quite see the world the same way. Welcome, Mike,...
David is a Pilot!
David is now officially America's newest Private Pilot. From his first flight with CFI Mike Descoteaux in the pre-Covid times, David has been a hard-working, insightful and contagiously enthusiastic student. The joy David exudes when he's in an airplane, near an...

Fly, Jito! Fly
Jito has a goal. In his words, he wants to be a “forever flight student at Horizon Aviation.” So do we. Any Horizon Aviation Norwood customer probably recognizes Jito. He is there most days with either a parent or a caregiver. He knows every instructor by a nickname;...
Scott Solos!
No one gets better at flying by avoiding things that are challenging. If every flight were easy, we would all be pretty mediocre aviators. This understanding is innate in Scott. Every time he finds a challenge, he goes all in and faces it head on. If a lesson is...
Joy Solos!
Joy is on a mission. She is working to complete her Private Pilot training before heading to the US Naval Academy in Annapolis later this year. She reached a huge milestone this week with the completion of her first solo flight! Congrats, Joy!!! Keep going!!
