Zak showed an interest in flying from age 12 and attended summer camps every year for 5 years at Embry-Riddle University in Daytona Beach, Florida; enjoying his first solo flight at age 17. When he was 18 years old he told his parents he wanted to make flying a career and as such attended ATP Flight School in FT Lauderdale, Florida where he obtained a Commercial License with a multi-engine and instrument rating. Once graduating with that license, he continued his flying studies gaining valuable flight time and experience in New York and even in the mountainous terrain of Montana, USA where he obtained a Tail wheel distinction flying a mountain plane called a Maul looking for forest fires and grizzly bears! After coming back home to Grand Cayman, the Cayman Flying Club assisted in sponsoring him in obtaining a Certified Flight Instructor rating ("CFI") which he obtained through Wayman Aviation at Opa Locka Airport in Florida. After achieving his CFI in November of 2012, he immediately went to work at the Cayman Flying Club as an instructor a position he held until his untimely passing the past May. He trained a number flight students, many of them more than twice his age. In his short 21 years he gained almost 400 hours of flight time which is quite an achievement. Depending on how quickly an individual performs, it costs roughly $12,000 to obtain the necessary flight hours and training to obtain a Private Pilot's license. There is no doubt a number of young Caymanians who are interested in becoming pilots, but are unable to afford the instruction. As Zak was passionate about seeing his young friends working and doing things they loved, the family felt the best way was to continue to help through providing funds to those young Caymanians who show an interest and passion for flying. We thank you for your attendance tonight and for your support to the Zak Quappé Memorial Scholarship Fund and hope that you will continue to support this worthy cause. Through your contributions, we hope to see the next generation of Cayman Airways pilots!

Tonight’s performance is dedicated to Zak Quappé, who not only loved to fly he also enjoyed performing arts assisting at the Prospect Playhouse for many productions and even treading the boards himself during the premier of Colin Wilson’s Watler’s War. Zak showed an interest in flying from age 12 and attended summer camps every year for 5 years at Embry-Riddle University in Daytona Beach, Florida; enjoying his first solo flight at age 17. When he was 18 years old he told his parents he wanted to make flying a career and as such attended ATP Flight School in FT Lauderdale, Florida where he obtained a Commercial License with a multi-engine and instrument rating. Once graduating with that license, he continued his flying studies gaining valuable flight time and experience in New York and even in the mountainous terrain of Montana, USA where he obtained a Tail wheel distinction flying a mountain plane called a Maul looking for forest fires and grizzly bears! After coming back home to Grand Cayman, the Cayman Flying Club assisted in sponsoring him in obtaining a Certified Flight Instructor rating ("CFI") which he obtained through Wayman Aviation at Opa Locka Airport in Florida. After achieving his CFI in November of 2012, he immediately went to work at the Cayman Flying Club as an instructor a position he held until his untimely passing the past May. He trained a

number flight students, many of them more than twice his age. In his short 21 years he gained almost 400 hours of flight time which is quite an achievement.
