I cut another fledgling loose from the nest this past Sunday. He was actually fully capable of soloing on Friday, except for an incomplete presolo test. So he worked hard on that Saturday, then soloed on Sunday with his wife and a couple of buddies looking on. He admitted to some fear, but confidence won out!

Congrats, Scot!

P.S. If the winds hadn't worked against us, I would have soloed another student that same day. Hopefully next Sat. will be more cooperative for him.

Congrats to Scot, and kudos to you for your enthusiasm and support for your students; good for GA!
 
Jonsey, you are propagating the pilot population single handed and I salute you for that. I am sure that the success of your students is a direct result of quality of your instruction. Hats off to you sir.

Yes, but they cost $650/hour. :D
