Pilot Paul

Congratulations to Paul Dixon on his first solo of a full-scale glider today!

Airman Alexander

Alexander put on his lucky shoes today and took Bill Stinson for a couple of rides in the 2-33. The result was the issuance of a Private Pilot certificate, and now Alexander is on the lookout for passengers. Congratulations, Alexander!

Christopher, Thomas, and Rick were on hand as witnesses. Bill had nice things to say about our club and our training program.

(Sonny, you're next, no excuses).
