Some incredible news from Empire Aviation student Connor McClanahan who wrote to let us know he “soloed the T-6 last month! Was a great ride … about a month left in the T-6 until I transition to T-1’s!” 

Connor started his flight training at Empire Aviation while a high school student and paid for all his lessons from after school jobs. You can read more about Connor’s story here!
