My Aviation Journey
My Aviation Journey
Hi, I’m Nicholas! I’m 15 and from New York, working toward my dream of becoming an airline pilot. I created this website to share my aviation journey from flying gliders and using flight simulators to learning from real pilots and building real-world experience.
🚀 Recent Highlights: Last updated 10/14/25
🛫 Cockpit Visits Update: I’ve now completed 9 more cockpit visits, including my most recent one on September 26, 2025, inside a FedEx Boeing 757. I’ve been inside cargo planes, private jets, and airliners, each giving me a unique look into different sides of aviation.
📺 I was featured on ABC News 10 WTEN on July 13, 2025! They covered my aviation journey, including gliding, flying, and more. It was a dream come true to be on TV! Check out the full story on its own page here on my website.
✈️ I took my first powered flight on July 9, 2025, in a Piper Cherokee out of Albany — it was a huge step beyond gliding and an unforgettable experience. Check out the full story on its own page here on my website.
This site is kind of like my aviation logbook. You can explore different pages to see updates on my flights, sim setups, gliding progress, and more.
💻 Pro Tip:
If you’re on a computer, the site looks way better and is much easier to explore than on your phone — highly recommend checking it out on a bigger screen if you can!
Hope you enjoy following along as I keep flying toward my goals!
