Default Son's first solo!

I'm a proud papa! My son had his tail feathers clipped yesterday, after
he made his required three complete solo circuits and landings, all
nicely in control and smooth.

He has persevered where many would have not. He first started while he
was in high school, at just under 16 years old. Many time builing
instructors came and went, and he finally switched to an older gentleman
we already knew, and continued until his college studies made him
postpone his dream. He did go up a few times, but after a time he
realized he needed to wait until he could go the rest of the way and
finish.

After getting hitched last year, and being done with his college, he went
the rest of the way to soloing yesterday. I could not be more proud.

Congratulations, to Patrick.
