From the first time being up in the plane, Emmi Windes knew she didn’t want to come down to Earth. Taking the steps to become a pilot is difficult and challenging, but this high-flying MBU student is ready to take to the sky.
Emmi Windes, sophomore communications studies major at MBU, gets ready to hop in the cockpit of the Cessna single-engine airplane she is learning to fly during a series of flight lessons. Windes, who comes from a line of pilots in her family, hopes to one day be a commercial pilot herself. Photo courtesy of Emmi Windes
