Tomorrow is midweek, which sounds like a pretty good reason to make some plans today. Put up that OOO, find a last-minute flight and make Wednesday feel a whole lot more like a weekend. Who else agrees?!

Happy National Aviation Day! From takeoffs and touchdowns to new adventures, far-off destinations and the people who make it all happen. Here’s to the magic of flight and wherever it takes you next!

Clear the runways, folks! 🛫✨

We’ve got another solo pilot in the skies at Watertown International Airport (ART)!

A massive congratulations to Lane from Black River Aviation for taking that epic first solo flight. There’s truly nothing quite like that feeling of shedding the instructor's weight, taking the controls solo, and realizing: "Hey, I'm actually flying this thing all by myself!" 😎

Awesome work, Lane! Keep climbing high, and enjoy every single second of that newfound freedom in the skies.

Solo Alert!! Let’s congratulate Lane on completing this milestone.
