After several winter and rainy spring weather delays, Graye Parnell was able to complete his FAA check ride and obtain his private pilot certificate.

“I’m anxious to continue and pursue my interest and credentials in aviation,” said Parnell, who graduated from Orcas Christian School this past June. “I have started on my instrument and commercial ratings and hope to be able to use my flying privileges to serve my community in the transport of medical flights as well as all the recreational opportunities this will provide.”
