Murfreesboro Aviation is a unique enterprise and is surrounded by unique stories. One of those stories is of a 16-year-old Blackman High School student who has always been fascinated by airplanes and aviation in general. Ever since his first Discovery Flight three years ago with Murfreesboro Aviation’s owner, Jim Gardner, he s been all in ! Patrick’s parents fed his hunger for aviation by rewarding Patrick’s good grades with Discovery Flights. During the summers, they would drop Patrick off at the airport where he educated himself on the world of aviation by memorizing planes, their performance numbers, the different engine types, and avionics. Patrick’s growing passion for aviation photography became a natural fit for his aviation pursuits.
