A FORMER Penketh High School pupil has started a career path that could see him become a commercial airline pilot.
Adam Burnett has completed his first solo flight at Shropshire Aero Club and is considering joining the European flight school.
The 17-year-old is currently studying A-levels in physics, geography and computing at Priestley College in Loushers Lane.
He started flying lessons as a 16-year-old and added: "I'm not sure at this point what to do at the end of my A-levels.
"I might take a year out in order to raise some finances before enrolling at one of the UK flight training schools or the prestigious Flight Training Europe in Jerez, Spain."
