It all started at the tender age of 15 when she started taking up flying lessons with professional instructors after watching a pilot show with her dad one night in September 2013. 'We saw all these pilots flying around farms and crops and dad asked: "Do you want to go for a lesson?" and I said: "Yeah, I'd love to,’ she said. 'And I've loved it ever since.’ But within four months of training, she turned her backyard hobby into a short commute to school. 'It's quite common to see young kids fly out  in rural areas,' Holly said. While she has perfected her navigation skills overtime, the plucky pilot said one of the most challenging parts of learning to fly was learning how to land. 'It was one of the most difficult things to learn but once I had done the land on my own, I knew I could do it from here on,' Holly said. 'I had to learn all the instruments, like how to switch it on and warming the engine up before flying.'

Despite her fast-track to school, Holly's boyfriend Alex Panetta or a family member nearby will be waiting outside the airport each day to drive her the extra kilometres for class. 'I'm currently on my L's but I do see myself flying for as long as I can,' Holly said. Holly flies 3,500 ft above the ground, far above her fellow classmates riding the bus to school .

With the privilege of flying anywhere in Australia, Holly has already started a bucket list of places to go, including a trip to Western Australia with her family or to Nyngan in NSW, where she was born, to visit relatives.

'I would like to go into the helicopters, commercial airlines or private jets,' she said. 'I actually have work experience lined up with Qantas this month so I'm looking forward to that.' And for all those youngsters interested in flying, Holly said: 'Definitely go for it!" 'You need to be committed and train every day - don't drag it on because it's something you can't put off for weeks or even months as you start to forget things,' she said. 'It feels amazing to start learning at such a young age and you could turn it into a career when you're older - so start saving.'
