LACONIA — The Board of the STEM Education for Youth non-profit, WinnAero, has announced their Board President, Karen Mitchell, recently earned her advanced aeronautical rating as a Certified Flight Instructor.
Mitchell who started taking flying lessons just a few years ago has continued in her new professional track and this advanced rating is one more milestone in her career path. A local science and math teacher for 10 years, Mitchell was fascinated by flying and all things aviation so she opted to explore that field as well and has found a new career awaiting her. As a CFI, she can now provide flight lessons and training to other aspiring aviators seeking to earn their private pilot or commercial pilot certifications.
 “Learning to fly has been a thrill, and I’m so happy to get to share it with others now as an instructor. The aviation community here at Laconia Airport has been wonderfully supportive, and I’m excited for the growth that we’re experiencing. As they say ‘A mile of road will take you a mile, but a mile of runway will take you anywhere.’"
Anyone interested in learning more about the flight training opportunities in Laconia is invited to contact Karen Mitchell at Sky Bright 603-528-6818 or kmitchell@skybright.com.
