Charlie Soloed!!

​Charlie Smith soloed!! Today he flew N37JA at KRTS, runway 32 for his most memorable flight. His CFI Cody Lucero watched on as Charlie flew his first few solo laps in perfect conditions; calm sky, empty pattern, and no extra CFI weight next to him :) Charlie is an early morning flyer and has been coming in about 3 times a week to get to where he is today! From there, he heads to his full time job as an environmental scientist. Plus add in ground school, life, putting up with his CFI Cody, and all the other fun stuff along the way. Charlie’s goal is zero to CFI and he is off to a great start! He walked in this morning all put together and left needing a new shirt. Cody snipped the back and made it official. Huge smiles the whole time. Awesome job Charlie!! Huge congrats to you and your CFI Cody!
