Aviation Stories for Firepit Night

Aviation Stories for Firepit Night

If numbers are what count, why overthink what you want to do with your time? Looking back at the origins of aviation, we see men and women coming together to enjoy flying, push themselves forward, and have a blast. Having a blast, feeling accomplished, and deciding what to make of your life were all values embodied by our bold grassroots aviators and aviatrixes. Logging flight hours alone won’t make you feel challenged, inspired, or supported—at least not if you’re the unstoppable, non-conformist type. What are you going to do with your time? If you follow these seven rules, we bet you’ll spark your aviation life and enjoy yourself:

  1. Log memories and lessons learned—not just flight hours.
  2. Be inspired and learn from watching others fly.
  3. Seize every opportunity to fly.
  4. Cherish every experience—even the embarrassing ones—as a roadmap to continuous improvement.
  5. Find your tribe and have a blast together.
  6. Follow your peers’ aviation journeys.
  7. Find a trusted partner for each leap you take.

Our grassroots flew for the challenge, the fun, and the memories. It may have looked different in the past, but achievement, exploration, and connection feel the same today. Whether you’re training, instructing, flying for fun, or just interested in aviation, the Fly ORKA app is an invitation to value your time, decide what you want to do with it, and feel accomplished every step of the way. So, what are you going to do with your time?
