congrats Trace,
at least you got to solo before the season shut things down.. try not to
loose too much over the winter.. winter time out here is our prime training
season for new students.. we fly year round..

yes... 2-33s do fly better with out that 200# mouth piece in the back seat
talking to you all the time.. LOL

I expect that we'll hear about your check ride on your 16th birthday..

I just soloed a Schweizer 2-33 on my 14th birthday! It was the very last
day of
operations for the Windy City Soaring Association (11/28/04) and I was the
last
flight of the season. I was amazed how much nicer the 2-33 seemed to fly
solo
(or maybe it was just me).



A special thank you goes out to all who have purchased my contest photos
at
races around the U.S. and also to those who have purchased items from my
"I
Want to FLY!" store (www.cafepress.com/iwanttofly). You have helped fund
my
lessons and made this whole aviation thing possible for me. I can't wait
for
next season!



Thanks!



Trace Lewis
