Dustin Lynch Takes Huge Step Towards Becoming a Pilot, Completes First Solo Flight

Dustin Lynch is working on his pilot’s license. The “Small Town Boy” singer inched one step closer recently. He should be flying to his own shows across the country in no time. Check out the post below.

“Set a goal, and when you get there…man it always feels good! First solo flight today,” he posted to Twitter.

Dustin Lynch began his journey to flight in 2021.

“I didn’t realize how free you feel whenever you can hop in an airplane and go wherever you want to go,” he told Entertainment Tonight. “Those that fly know what I’m talking about.”

Lynch isn’t the only country music singer that craves flying on their own. Alan Jackson, Tim McGraw and Dierks Bentley all have their pilot licenses.

Dustin Lynch is a native of Tullahoma, Tenn., which is around an hour southeast of Nashville. He has a big farm out there. The 37-year-old released his fifth album in February of 2022. Blue in the Sky features some of his biggest hits to date, including the MacKenzie Porter collaboration “…Thinking ‘Bout You.” The new record also features collaborations with Riley Green and Chris Lane. The track with Riley Green is titled “Huntin’ Land.” It was the first single to arrive ahead of the album’s release.

The record peaked at 125th on the Billboard 200. It reached number nine on the Top Country Albums chart.
