All the way from Winnemucca...

A round of applause for Shane Havens, who took flight solo in the incredible N495SP on runway 08 at KRTS! What an astounding achievement! Shane’s dedication knows no bounds; he drives in all the way from Winnemucca to pursue his passion for aviation. But that's not all there is to Shane. Besides his love for the skies, he has a heart of gold and cherishes spending time with his daughter, nurturing dreams of sharing his aviation enthusiasm with her one day. And here’s the kicker: Shane isn’t satisfied with just flying; he’s building his very own RV-10! I mean, who does that? Shane does! He's not just an aviator; he's a DIY extraordinaire! Shane is not just soaring high in the air; he's mastering the ground too! His commitment to his ground school studies is nothing short of inspiring. His wealth of knowledge is growing, and he's absolutely crushing it! Let’s also give a huge shout-out to his CFI, Kevin Marshall, whose guidance and expertise have undoubtedly played a significant role in Shane's success. Together, they're reaching for the skies and creating aviation magic. Here’s to Shane’s solo flight, his RV-10 project, and the exciting aviation adventures that await him!
