After taking his first flight lessons, Marko continues his journey toward becoming a private pilot—a dream that holds special meaning for his mother, Vlada, who first began pursuing her own aviation dreams 35 years ago in former Yugoslavia.
To celebrate this milestone, her longtime friend Vesna, who is also a private pilot, joins them for a special day in the air and takes Vlada on her very first flight as a passenger.
The episode also takes us to the March Field Air Museum, where we honor the aviators who came before us and meet Sergeant Doug Burger, learning more about the history and legacy of aviation.
Then comes one of Marko’s biggest milestones: completing his first solo flight. And after conquering the skies, he brings us back down to earth to share another passion—teaching us how to grill the perfect steak.
