From Beginnings to Solos

by admin on August 4, 2008

Ken Meade posted on the forums that we have a new member, Frank Gonzales, who has a trainer and got in three flights on Saturday making his first take offs! Congratulations Frank. Ain’t this hobby a kick in the pants?

Norman Louie soloed last Thursday. I’ve added a couple of pictures below. Congratulations to you Norman. Soloing is a big step. I can’t wait until I get to do so myself. It wasn’t that long ago that I posted pictures of Norman’s Evolution Right 60′s maiden flight.

The big moment. I bet his heart is pounding about now.

Here’s a some pictures of the freshly slurried and striped runway. The consensus seems to be very positive about the improvements that have been made. Thank you Jim Riccio for all the work that you did to make this happen.
