Brent lassoed the sky!!

Yeehaw, saddle up and hold onto your Stetsons, folks! Brent Wallace just roped in a solo flight and now has wings to match his cowboy boots! This rancher-turned-aviator gleefully kicked his CFI Nate Morin out of the cockpit, took command of the plane, and tangoed with the skies over KRTS runway 08. After a few memorable laps, he swung back around, picked up Nate, and came back into Reno with a grin as wide as the open range. This hard-charging 141 student is not just breaking broncos; he's breaking through the clouds, looking to rustle up a new career in aviation. And would you believe it, he's not just a maverick in the air but also a proud member of the Nevada Air National Guard—talk about roping in dreams from the ground up! Hopefully, he's now home, celebrating with his wife and little cowgirls. Keep up the hard work, Brent! Your private pilot certificate is just over the horizon, and you'll be herding clouds like cattle in no time. A big tip of the hat to his trusty CFI, Nate Morin, for being the wingman in this rodeo of flight training. Together, they've wrangled the winds and corralled those elusive solo wings. So, here's to Brent Wallace, the rancher with wings, soaring high and proud. Happy trails, partner and happy Veteran’s Day! 🇺🇸
