Adam Kennedy is a 19-year-old student at Sacramento City College, and now... he’s a Private pilot! ✈️🎉 After earning a scholarship from EAA Vintage Chapter 25 in October 2023, he trained at Flying Panthers Flight School and soloed on 2/13/24. Shortly after, he earned the Ray Aviation Scholarship to continue his training. After maintenance issues, he paused his flight training but started again with Skyrise Aviation in January 2025.

He passed his Private Pilot checkride on April 4th, 2025, with Mark Montague at KAUN.

A note from his CFI Tenly, “Adam dedicated all his time and energy to earning this certificate and even lost 30 lbs from January to now, so he can continue learning to fly other planes.

I am so proud of Adam and everything he has accomplished. A Huge thank you to Marc, Alex, and the other folks at Skyrise for being an instrumental part of making this happen and seeing him through.”

Great work, Adam and Tenly! 👏👏👏 #privatepilot #flyskyrise
