Today I’d like to share a nice story that came across my
desk. A few years back, a guest named Justin Haase from Kasson, MN visited
the Delta Flight Museum to do our simulator experience. He had a great time and
his instructor, Chick Smith, was so impressed with his flying that he asked if
he was a pilot. No, he wasn’t…at least not yet.
However, about two months ago, Justin completed his private
pilot check ride and is now indeed a pilot.
Justin reached out to the Museum to track down Chick and let
him know that he completed his private pilot journey, and part of the reason he
started was due to Chick’s encouragement. While Chick has retired from the
Museum, we passed along the incredible compliment and Chick was excited and
appreciative to learn of Justin’s accomplishment.
These types of stories are always so nice to hear. (After
all, who wouldn’t like hearing how you touched someone’s life for the better?) Congratulations,
Justin! We hope to have you back soon.
