Theresa Bettale went along on one of her husband’s (Patrick) flight lessons. She posted her thoughts (and a number of pictures) on her blog. If everyone with a dream to fly could be partnered with such a supportive spouse, the industry couldn’t handle them all. Thank you for sharing, and supporting, Theresa.
