I initially came to Henderson's Reddie Day intending to look at business classes.  I quickly realized that they had an aviation program - and that was it!  I've always wanted to be a pilot, I just didn't know it was actually possible.  The aviation group is like a family here: we study together, fly together and hang out together.

I also chose Arkadelphia because it is a smaller city and has so many outdoor activities to offer.  I like adventure and I'm an outdoorsy guy, so I can also take a plane to northern Arkansas and hang out with my buddies.  There is also a list of flights required of all aviation students, giving us the opportunity to do such things as fly down to Galveston, hang out on the beach, eat crab and then fly home on the same day.

I have worked with a number of different aviation programs and pilots, but having come from Henderson I honestly feel that the training we receive here is better than many other places.  My friends are all pilots and we appreciate the quality of training and education we receive at Henderson.
