David Thomas is now IFR Rated

Halloween 2017

Dave Thomas earned his Instrument rating on Halloween! Should we be scared?? Just kidding. This is a huge acheivement for Dave and CFII Jamie Boesiger. Dave was Jamie’s first student to earn an IFR rating, so they both accomplished a “1st”. Congratulations! The DPE who signed Dave’s certificate was Julian Pridmore-Brown.
