I took a student down to Des Moines this morning so he could do his 3 solo landings at a controlled airport. I called up the tower to see if i could stand in the cab to watch. They let me up and it was pretty cool to get to listen in on the radio and visit with ATC while watching him do his landings. Another cool thing was that apparently the Piper Jet had been down at Des Moines Flying Service, the midwest Piper Dealer. All the tower guys were kind of excited about it, and he took off and did a couple low passes before heading out to indiana for its next stop. pretty sharp looking airplane, kinda cool to see it fly.
