A Thursday Solo!!

Congratulations to Ben Abel who flew his memorable solo flight today in N328ME, KRTS, Runway 8. Ben flew his first few solo patterns as his proud instructor Stefan Arnone watched from the ground. Ben also has aviation in his blood. He is working hard toward a career in aviation with the support of his family, including his Dad, a Captain with United. Ben is an avid snowboarder and instructor at Northstar (once the snow comes). He squeaks in flying between his work tasks and driving in from Incline. Congratulations to both Ben and Stefan on this awesome accomplishment!! It won’t be long and you will have your private pilot certificate!
