ADDISON, Texas — Clio Vazquez has traded his education in a high school classroom for a view of the runway and planes taking off at Addison Airport just north of Dallas.
Between studying math, English and science, the 14-year-old Vazquez spent the last three months at Rising Aviation High School studying to get an FAA remote pilot certificate to fly drones and taking the certification test, even though he can’t officially get the license for almost two years when he turns 16.
“Oh, this is much better than school was before,” said Vazquez, whose mother brings him every day from Arlington for classes. “I’ve always wanted to fly.”
