Ben Novello is a Solo Pilot!!

Hold the phone! Did you know Ben Novello’s a pilot? Do you need proof? Well, I guess you can say soloing an airplane is proof enough! That’s right, Ben Novello, the dirt bike riding, Tahoe bumming, snowboard junkie has officially conquered the ultimate achievement: solo flight! As you can see, Ben was only a little excited that he soloed… 😜🤙. Ben came in as cool as a cucumber, primed and ready to kick his flight instructor, Eric Harned, out of the plane. After a few practice laps, the consensus was made: the skies were ready for Ben. He took off out of KRTS in N670CS and buttered all his landings on runway 8! What an incredible accomplishment! Ben, you’ll truly will never forget your solo flight and we’re happy that we were able to be a part of this incredible milestone. Let’s give Ben and Eric and huge congratulations on this absolutely incredibly achievement! Ben, that dream of riding your dirt bike to your plane “Maverick style” will become a reality soon enough. Awesome work!
