We recently received this exciting update from MHF Solo Flight Student Bryan Fisher, who’s on his way to great things. He writes:

“Hello Mile High Flight Crew,

I just wanted to reach out and thank you for my experience in the Mile High Flight Program back in 2010. Since soloing in Phase 2 I have been in all facets of the aviation industry. I was a ramper for Southwest, a Flight Attendant for United, currently I am a First Officer with SkyWest. All of this I credit to your organization sparking an interest in aviation from a young age. In fact, it wasn’t until my first international layover in NRT when I decided to become a pilot. I was talking with two pilots, one from FedEx and one from Qantas, in the Jet Lag Club and they reminded me what joy flying gives when I was discussing my first solo.

I went to ATP flight school in Centennial earning my Commercial Single and Multi, Advanced/Instrument Ground Instructor, and CFI/CFI-I/MEI ratings, in just 6.5 months. I then instructed in Denver and Phoenix with ATP eventually becoming one of their Flight Standards instructors training all the new CFI’s to ensure high standards were maintained. Once I got my 1,500 hours (only 25 months from when I started training) I accepted a position at SkyWest. I flew the CRJ in Detroit and transitioned recently to the ERJ in Denver. In addition to flying, I am finishing up my college degree through Thomas Edison State University, with just 3 credits to go.

This email is just my small way of saying thank you for the opportunities your program afforded me to realize and reach my goals.

Thank you,

Bryan Fisher MHFP Phase 2 scholarship recipient 2010"
