Kensie Hewson

Meet Kensie Hewson. She is one of the newest pilots at the Vernon Flying Club. Kensie recently finished training for her Recreational Pilot Permit at Aurora Aviation Academy at the Vernon airport. At 16, she is a bit too young to qualify for her Private Pilot License, but that is the next achievement she hopes for. Ultimately, Kensie says she will fly commercially for her livelihood.

She was recently a guest on an Elevate Aviation webinar, where the discussion was opportunities for women in aviation. Watch it below.

There are many ways of entering this fascinating way of life. Kensie is dedicated and focused, and established on her way to a rewarding career.
