Young pilot spreads her wings at SOSU
By Addison Martin
From the age of 16, Reagan Benson knew that she wanted to be a pilot.
Before that, she never had any experience and none of her family piloted planes or studied aviation. It was not until she was able to fly in a small aircraft in high school when she felt like she knew what she wanted to do for a career.
Originally from Paris, Texas, Benson is now making that dream a reality as she is studying aviation at Southeastern Oklahoma State University in Durant with the hope of becoming a professional pilot.
