Brett Soloed!!

Ladies and gentlemen, brace yourselves, because the aviation world will never be the same! Brett "Happy" Gilmore has officially soared into the spotlight with a solo flight at KRTS Runway 08 in N495SP! One too many Red Bulls for Brett this morning because he had some energy to burn. Brett managed to log a whopping 0.5 hours of PIC flight time before his CFI decided, "Alright, stop showing off." Clearly, Brett is a master of the skies, and he's just getting started. But wait, there's more! Brett isn't your ordinary pilot – he's also a fearless member of the Nevada Air National Guard, standing tall and proud to protect the skies and our nation. Now, about that tail-cutting ceremony – who needs a full tail anyway? Brett left the office with his back exposed, all in the name of aviation tradition. His tail may be shorter, but his aviation dreams are higher than ever! Huge congratulations to Brett's CFI, Alex Spencer, who must have nerves of steel to send Brett solo ;) A big day for Alex too being Brett was his first solo!! Great job to both Brett and Alex!
