When he was younger he flew a remote controlled model plane and that enthusiasm has remained with him.Huett's goal is to fly for an airline someday. When asked about what it was like passing his checkride, Caleb said, "I was nervous at first, but as I progressed through the checkride I got more comfortable. Hearing the DPE say that I passed filled me with both relief and excitement. " His instructor, Tim Ambrose, said, "Caleb did well on his checkride despite unfavorable winds and turbulence. He has been a great student and is continuing in the aviation program to become a commercial pilot.
