Discovering Aviation with Danny: From Impulse Decision to Flight Instructor

In this episode of Beyond The Sky, host Zach O’Brien sits down with Danny, a flight instructor at North Star Aviation, to explore his unique path into aviation. Unlike many pilots who grow up surrounded by aviation, Danny had no family or friends in the industry—his decision to fly came as an impulse during his senior year of high school. From there, he built his career step by step, finding a passion for flight training and mentoring new students. This episode highlights how aviation can inspire anyone, regardless of background, and showcases the resources like MyFlightLab that support student success at North Star Aviation.
