Our students talk about Holmes
I'll be the first pilot in my family and obviously my parents are very supportive and proud of me which is really good. I would want to represent more women in the aviation industry. It was a long process but at the same time I'm glad that I've made the right decision.
_HI%20Aus%20Website%202025%20(2).avif)
I'm most excited about just meeting people, flying the beautiful machines in the air, exploring, flying, testing my capabilities, and just enjoying life in the air.
_HI%20Aus%20Website%202025%20(1).avif)
Since I was young I always wanted to be a pilot. I used to look at the airplanes as they were flying over my house and Holmes gave me the opportunity to do this course and fulfil my dream of becoming a pilot.
