Father's Day Solo!!

Katie Newberry soloed!! This young Nevada Air Guard service member lost 170lbs today as she left her CFI, Jacob Hetland, on the ramp to fly her first few solo laps at KRTS, runway 08 in N328ME. Aviation runs in the blood as Katie’s brother and Dad also share the love of aviation. Katie has been working hard on this milestone and today she experienced first hand how awesome solo flight is! We are excited to see her ripping through the sky on her own as she continues earning her Private Pilot Certificate! Huge congratulations to Katie and her CFI Jacob! ​
