2 1/2 hours with Amelia Vaith (2 of 2)

2 1/2 hours of instruction with Amelia Vaith. Amelia grew up in Mount Vernon, Washington, near the San Juan Islands, where she discovered her passion for aviation after completing a discovery flight in eighth grade during a spring break aviation camp. That flight marked the start of a journey that led her to earn her private pilot certificate in the Pacific Northwest before continuing her training at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Florida. While she has flown in various regions, from Florida’s coastline to the mountain ranges of the Pacific Northwest, she finds nothing more rewarding than flying over the Puget Sound in the summer months to get lunch at Friday Harbor. As a flight instructor, she finds the greatest fulfillment in seeing her students progress, especially when they finally master a difficult skill they’ve been working hard to perfect. When she’s not at the airport, you can find Amelia playing pickleball, exploring antique and thrift stores, hiking through Washington’s scenic trails, or traveling to new places.
