Mike's Solo Flying Lesson

My husband Mike has always had a dream of being a pilot. He is currently taking flying lesson and hopes to earn his private pilot license.

We've never been to the airport during his flying lessons before. Since his Dad and Jeri were here, we decided to go to the airport on Sunday to see him fly. His flight instructor had decided before we got there that Mike was ready for his first solo flight. We were sooo excited to be there for his first solo.


This is Mike's airport ...
