Imagine this: you’ve just graduated from high school, standing at the crossroads of life, uncertain about your path. College looms ahead, and the thought of entering as “Undeclared” isn’t exactly inspiring. So, you take a moment to reflect on your passions and interests, searching for that spark. Then, like a light flickering to life, one cherished memory, one profound experience stands out, becoming the crux of your decision.

And so, we come to the story of Asanté Day.

Having earned his degree from Arizona State University, Asanté’s journey as an aviator first took flight after that unforgettable experience during high school. His unwavering aspiration is to take the skies, uncovering the hidden treasures that lie scattered across the globe.

Beyond the realm of aviation, Asanté dives into an array of hobbies. Whether he’s delving into the arts and literature, engaging in mentally exhilarating chess matches, hitting the skatepark with the biggest pop shuv-its you have ever seen, or indulging in captivating tabletop card games, his curiosity knows no bounds.

An active member of the Organization of Black Aerospace Professionals (OBAP), a nonprofit dedicated to uplifting minorities in aviation, and the Golden Gate Flyers, an all-embracing community of pilots and aviation enthusiasts in the local Bay Area, Asanté’s involvement speaks volumes about his commitment to the field.

Regardless of whether you’re a novice taking flight for the first time or a seasoned pilot with countless hours in the cockpit, Asanté aspires to enrich your understanding of the pilot’s journey.

For him, it’s not merely about being in the airplane; it’s about crafting stories that extend beyond the aircraft, stories meant to be shared with fellow adventurers.
