Ryan Garner, a 17-year-old teen from North Carolina, in the U.S., has recently become the youngest person to earn his private pilot license in the state.
Garner was said to have started his aviation journey at a small airport in Indian Trail. Initially, he aimed to be part of the ground crew to assist with plane arrivals. However, a conversation with a Delta pilot inspired him to reach for the skies and attend flight school.
He then enrolled in flight school to pursue his dream of becoming a pilot. Last week, the City of Concord honoured Garner’s remarkable achievement with an official proclamation, recognizing his dedication and success.
