Some days are memorable. Others become legendary.
This was undoubtedly one of those LEGENDARY days that will be remembered for a very long time.
After weeks of waiting, the winds finally eased, creating the perfect conditions for several students who had been eagerly anticipating their very first SOLO flight. And today, that dream became reality for three of our pilots.
Let’s start from the beginning.

Javier González Takes His First Flight!
Traveling all the way from San Germán, Javier had only begun his training with Team Kamikazes about a month ago.
His athletic background and competitive spirit allowed him to absorb the training exceptionally well. We knew there was a good chance that today would be the day, and sure enough, he rose to the challenge.
What an incredible achievement.
Congratulations, Javier! Here’s to the first of many adventures in the sky.
Shirley Hernández Takes Her First Flight!
Shirley Hernández, one of the female pilot in the Team, had been training for several months. Her journey was filled with sacrifices, small victories, and painful frustrations. Yet through it all, she remained unwavering in her goal and determination to fly.
The entire Team family constantly encouraged her, believing in her every step of the way.
Today, all that dedication paid off.
The video speak louder than words. Congratulations, Shirley! May this be the first of many incredible flights to come.
Juan Flores Takes His First Flight!
Juan is an extremely talented individual and a true sports enthusiast. Like Javier, he has been training for approximately a month. However, his professional commitments often prevent him from being as active as he would like.
He arrived at today’s event with very little practice during the previous two weeks. Nevertheless, he spent the entire morning sharpening his skills. As we watched his growing confidence and control under the paraglider wing, we recognized the opportunity.
It was time.
Before long, Juan became the third new pilot of the day.
Congratulations, Juan! An unforgettable milestone and a well-deserved accomplishment.
Abel Bonilla Continues His Journey
Abel had already experienced the thrill of flight before, but today he joined the group for the fourth flight of his young flying career.
We are sharing videos of his experience as he continues building his skills and confidence in the air.
A Day to Remember
Once again, we congratulate our newest pilots on achieving a milestone they will never forget.
Several other students are getting closer to their own first solo flights, and in the coming days, they too will have the opportunity to chase their dreams among the clouds. As always, with God‘s blessing, we continue moving forward—one flight at a time.
Stay tuned… the next epic chapter is just around the corner.
