14 y/o Female Solo Yesterday

X-No-Archive: yes

I'm all in favor of congratulating new pilots. Especially those who
solo at a young age.

But publishing the name of a minor and where they hang out on the
internet is not a good idea. Would you want the name of your child on
the internet? A few years ago someone posted the name, address,
telephone number, wifes name and childs name, of the person hosting an
awards banquet here on usenet. This is an open forum that can be read
by anyone not just sailplane pilots.

I would encourage you to edit your posting, deleting the last name as a
minimum, and repost it (Google used to have this feature). They'll
still know who you're talking about.

Congrats to the new pilot!

Thought I would put a not on the site to say congratulations
to C**** K***** for making her first solo flight
yesterday in an AS-K21 out at Caracole Soaring in California
City. There were several friends along with her proud
father, A***, attending. She made a 30 minute flight
and a perfect two point landing.
We are all very proud of her in this accomplishment.
Hopefully she will continue her flying and get her
private ticket.
