My name is Peyton Kraus, and I am currently working towards my PPL (A) in Alaska, USA.  I never thought aviation would be something I’d be  interested in, until I had the opportunity to go flying with Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA). With this flight I had the opportunity to maneuver the aircraft, and afterward I was absolutely hooked! Once I knew aviation was something I’m passionate about I found organizations to join like Women in Aviation International and Elevate(her). These organizations helped me stay connected to the aviation community to keep the aviation bug alive. My goal is to complete my PPL training next summer before I start school in the fall of 2025. I know the journey will not be an easy one, but I am determined to pursue my passion.

This photo was taken after my first discovery flight in Alaska, which was absolutely amazing! The views were incredible, and I had a phenomenal time learning new things.

I look forward to connecting with you all in the future!
