Wendy soled (again) today!! Wendy Gammon is an incredible student who earned her PPL several double digit years ago. Wendy's love of aviation never faded and things fell into place where recently she got back in the cockpit to pursue her goal of flying for a living. Today, she re-soloed as her instructor Emmett looked on. "Until you spread your wings you will have no idea how far you can fly." We are so excited for you Wendy!!
