Deanna Flemings, the subject of our “Why We Fly” for the July 2009 issue of AOPA Flight Training, is a student pilot no longer. She passed her private pilot checkride just as the issue went to press. Deanna’s first passenger was her mom. Her stepdad, David Messina, is a pilot who has flown with her on many occasions. Deanna’s next two checkpoints: high school graduation and the U.S. Air Force Academy. Congratulations, Deanna!

Deanna Congratulations!
I’m the guy that was standing in front of you and your father at the food stand last Saturday at Festival of Flight. If I had known I was standing in the presence of a celebrity I would have talked more to you.
Well done.
