My Pilot Dream is Coming True: Help me take the final step!
Donation protected
Hello! My name is Victor, and I’m a passionate aviation enthusiast from Germany and Spain. Since childhood, I’ve been completely captivated by the world of aviation. Now, I’m reaching out to you for support to help turn my lifelong dream of becoming a professional airline pilot into reality!
My Journey:
- Early Fascination: My passion for aviation began with frequent plane travels, which sparked my curiosity about aviation in total.
- First Steps: At 13, I started using study-level simulators and took real aircraft flights, which deepened my commitment to becoming a pilot.
- Founding My Own Airline at 13: During the global pandemic, I seized the opportunity to found "airvalencia " , a virtual airline that quickly became a thriving community of over 50 dedicated pilots. Our airline gained international recognition on platforms like VATSIM and IVAO, becoming one of the most influential virtual airlines in Europe.
- Military Aviation Camp: In 2021 and 2022, I had the incredible opportunity to attend a military aviation camp. I learned so much, including about aerodynamics, flight principles, real aircraft flying and building a network of aspiring aviators. In 2024, I took my commitment to the next level by returning to the camp, this time as a full-time instructor. I had the privilege of lecturing classes and taking on greater responsibilities, further solidifying my dedication and passion for a career in aviation.
- Ultralight Pilot Training: Last summer I embarked on an exhilarating journey with my Ultralight Pilot Training. I completed 14 hours of flying and passed the theory exam on my first attempt - confirming not only my passion for aviation, but also my readiness to pursue this career path.
- The Next Step: After having finished my school journey, with both a German and a Spanish high school finish, I’m thrilled to share that I’ve been accepted into one of the world’s most prestigious and competitive cadet programmes—a 20-month intensive course costing €102,500. After months of rigorous selection stages, I secured a spot in this elite programme. This isn’t just training—it’s a fast track to an exciting career as a commercial airline pilot, with job security from day one and exceptional opportunities for rapid career advancement: In just six years from the start of my training, I could be on track to becoming a top-tier airline captain!
Thanks to careful planning, personal savings, and other sources of support we have successfully secured the majority of the €102,500 required for my 20-month ATPL cadet programme, I'm now turning to you to help me raise the final €35,000 through my GoFundMe campaign. We're more than halfway there!
With your help, I will be able to cover the final costs needed to take off on this life-changing journey. Your generosity will help bridge this last financial gap and make this dream a reality.
Together we can make this dream a reality and help me take to the skies!
