Amanda Levin has always had a passion for adventure and travel. Her first glimpse of GA was through her younger brother, who pursued his PPL before joining the Air Force to fly C-17s. While attending Colorado State University for her undergraduate degree in Computer Science, Amanda met her now husband, Austin, an avid flier.
After flying with Austin and attending EAA AirVenture 2015 with him, “I was inspired by the world of recreational aviation, where the journey was a part of the adventure,” she says. She started lessons shortly after and passed her checkride in May 2016.
