Meet Jordan

 

Jordan, a Lo-Ma senior, is fascinated with aviation.  The opportunity to learn more about the aviation industry is what drew Jordan to IGNITE. 

He never imagined he would actually get to fly a plane while in high school. Once he experienced flying, Jordan can't wait to get in the air again.  He even offered to rent a plane!

"I've always wanted to fly, and now that I have, I KNOW I want to become a pilot."
