Dual enrollment student completes aviation trifecta for 16th birthday

That would include his parents, James and Thomasina, who were very pleased indeed. “It was complicated, it was sticky, but he found the determination and motivation to move forward,” his mother said. “He found a way to be strong and stay absolutely focused, which still chokes me up.” Although Fremont has always been an aviation fan, his initial passion was baseball. But he broke his throwing elbow when he was 14 – and that opened the door to flying. He started glider training, and his powered flight training started not long after with a helicopter ride he got as a Christmas present from his parents, and soon expanded to include fixed-wing flying as well. He discovered Embry-Riddle’s unique dual enrollment program, which allows high school students to earn valuable early college credits, when he was looking to bolster his aviation studies.
“We were incredibly impressed” with Embry-Riddle, said Fremont, who has already completed one class in English and one in Aeronautical Science, with a Computer Science course on tap for the summer. “The instructors are fantastic,” he said. “But my favorite part is that everything, even the writing assignments, can all be tied into aviation.” His father said the Embry-Riddle experience has fueled Fremont’s academic ambition and ability. “He’s learned to be a better student,” he said. “He dives into schoolwork with determination now and, without a doubt, it’s increased his confidence.”
Although he is only 16, Frankie Fremont already has a list of accomplishments that would make someone twice his age proud. The rising high school junior has finished two classes in Embry-Riddle’s Dual Enrollment program and recently started a third, on top of his regular classes at Faith Lutheran High School in Las Vegas. But perhaps his biggest feat so far was celebrating his birthday in January with a unique aviation trifecta: First solos in a helicopter and a fixed-wing aircraft, then passing his glider pilot check ride, all within 24 hours of turning 16. “It was pretty nerve wracking,” Fremont said of his birthday achievement, which included a four-hour drive from Las Vegas to California to take the glider test. “But I was able to pull it together because I really wanted to please everyone who helped me.”
