“For once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards, for there you have been and there you will long to return. ” – Leonardo da Vinci

Imagine having a dream or goal (which most of us have) that is so big in your heart, that there is nothing you won’t do to reach it. You’ve daydreamed about it. You’ve prayed about it. You’ve studied, worked, and even cried about it. You’ve also annoyed your family and friends so bad that they don’t want to hear you talk about it. Years go by… and you still haven’t reached it but know you can’t live without it. Well, that pretty much sums me up! Along with the quote by Leonardo Da Vinci.

Hi! My name is Mikasha Dye and the above picture is of me! In this picture I am flying a Cessna 152 (small two-seater aircraft), which is part of my dream! I am 31 years old and have been dreaming of becoming a professional pilot since I left the military (Check out my 1st blog: How I stumbled into Aviation). My journey has been slow, difficult, and sometimes doubtful. However, I am determined to reach my goal. In the process, I hope to inspire others to not give up on their own goals or dreams, whatever that may be! So, join me on this road to success as we continue to rise!
