“Aviation affirms young people and enables them to extract all their potentials out. Look at our Amar. The entire world is now in front of him, now when he learned that with his work and efforts he can achieve everything and that there is no such thing as a problem without a solution. If he mastered flying in the ninth grade, then there is no obstacle that he cannot overcome,” said the professional pilot Mujo Mušić.
After months of learning, tests and training in the Air Club “Tuzla” student of the first grade of Medical School in Tuzla Amar Hasanović performed his first independent flight in July this year. Thus, he became one of the youngest pilots in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Candidate Edin Spahić also performed his first individual flight the same day, and instructors Meho Emkić and Mirza Sinanović foresee major sport successes for these two boys.
“Amar started coming to the Sports Airport ‘Jegin Lug’ near Kalesija five or four years ago. We could not even imagine that one day he will be a pilot. Many kids come to see the sailing aircraft. When a boy of ten comes, we ask him how great student he is. That is our way of pointing to the importance of learning, children must know that learning is good. One nine-year-old boy came recently and we told him to learn how to multiply numbers by next time, but he never showed up again,” said instructor Emkić and smiled.
Adding that Amar is a champion of knowledge in Kalesija in several fields, Emkić said that he is also very hard working because he achieved great things as a 15-year-old. Amar came to the airport for the first time with his father, who also loves that sport. “The pilot drove us on this airport and that experience is the one I remember very well. We enjoyed and it was fantastic. Later on I joined the club, and when the time has come for me to start training I mastered everything without a problem because I was impatient, I wanted to fly as soon as possible. Flying is the best part of everything, and that was my goal. I enjoy flying around the airport and three kilometers outside of the airport borders, while more experienced pilots fly to Kladanj or Zvornik,” said Amar.
After the summer break and before the new academic year began, students heard that a pilot will be among them in class. They did not know who that was and when they saw photographs they thought Amar was joking.
“I didn’t brag about it, but they saw photos and they thought I sat in the aircraft just like that, to take a photo. When I told them I am a pilot, they found it really interesting. Some asked questions about that, and some admitted they didn’t even know that there was an airport here. Those who knew I was interested in this were delighted when they heard I became a pilot. My next goal is to move to a better type of aircraft. I am currently flying in the training type of aircraft, but I want to fly solo and I will do everything to achieve that in the next several years,” said Amar.
When asked whether he is thinking about civil or military aviation, Amar nodded his head away. “I wasn’t thinking about that. I prefer sports flying and preparations for competitions. Of course, some of my friends want to fly big planes with passengers,” said Amar.
