Mar 2011 Allison Driver (Tennessee)
Allison Driver is based at (KMBT), Murfreesboro Municipal Airport, Murfreesboro, Tennessee.
Meet 14 year old student pilot, Allison Driver!
My name is Allison. I’m fourteen and I live in Murfreesboro, TN. I have been flying for most of my life.

My grandfather, Ernest Betancourt, bought a Citabria ten years ago with the intention of teaching my sister and me to fly. My grandad has his CFI ratings. He recently started teaching me and already I have ten hours of formal instruction.

My grandad used to have a Mooney but traded it for a Waco. Personally, I enjoy flying the Waco and Citabria better. I’m super excited about getting my license!
