What starts as a birthday gift for his dad turns into a lifelong passion for Chaun Kraus. In this episode of Flight Tales, we sit down with Chaun to trace his path from mouse-and-keyboard flight sim sessions to becoming a certified flight instructor. He opens up about nerding out over Ace Combat, soloing before getting a driver’s license, overcoming self-doubt, and flying through challenges—including a literal open door on his first solo. This story is full of laughs, real talk, and a powerful reminder of how early passions can grow into purpose.🛫 Dream big, study hard, close that airplane door—and always fly the plane.Owens Flight Training is a flight school based in Lafayette, Louisiana.www.owensflighttraining.comFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/owensflighttrainingInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/owensflighttraining
