World-Class Training with Kylar

Transcript

The world of aviation needs many new skilled pilots and aircraft mechanics. Kylar from Bethany, Oklahoma is one of the many students that make up the record breaking enrollment of LeTourneau University’s aviation and aeronautical science programs. Kylar is passionate about people and about flying and fixing planes. Kylar, you are on.

– Appreciate it, Alex. What’s going on, y’all? As a senior in high school, I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do in college or even where I wanted to go, but after extensive prayer and watching “Top Gun,” I decided that aviation could be the career for me. Finding LeTourneau, a nationally-recognized Christian school with an elite level flight program was an answer to prayer at the perfect time. As a professional flight major, all my classes either help me to fly an airplane or learn how they work. I spend a lot of time at the Abbott Aviation Center. We have over 20 planes available for flight training and many other plane for maintenance training. We also have FAA-approved simulators used for flight practicing and training for different types of situations. Outside of flight training, my studies include a wide range of courses that develop me as a professional and deepen my faith. I like to think of my assignments not as a chore, but as an opportunity to grow in my walk with God and knowledge of the gospel. During my time at LeTourneau, I’ve had plenty of opportunities to serve my fellow students by being on the worship team and a resident assistant for my floor. I learn a lot by serving the people around me, and I really enjoy that. LeTourneau has deepened my faith more than I ever thought possible in only two years. Here, we are taught that you don’t have to go overseas to be missionary, but that it can be done every workplace and in every nation. What’s next for me? Well, I’m considering either the commercial airlines or the missions field somewhere in South America. That’s it for me, adios, y’all. Back to you, Goose. I mean, Alex.

– Thank you, Kylar, or should we say, Maverick. What an incredible experience that you’re receiving training at such a comprehensive aviation program that is still so close-knit and intentional about relationships. Looks like it’s smooth sailing from here, we’ll see you in the sky. Thanks again, Kylar.
