Michael Soloed!!

Rev up the applause for our speed demon turned aviator, Michael Bowling! This motorcycle racer hit the brakes on the racetrack and took flight solo at KSPZ, runway 06, maneuvering the magnificent N328ME through the open skies. The thrill of independence in the cockpit is a momentous milestone for any aviator, and Michael has etched his name in the skies of accomplishment. His infectious joy and passion for aviation are felt throughout the office, earning him the prestigious title of Pilot of the Month. Balancing the demands of impressing the GBA staff and CFIs while navigating high school showcases Michael's dedication and multitasking prowess. A special shoutout to the Bowling family, whose unwavering support has been the wind beneath Michael's wings. His mom, in particular, gets a front-row seat to his flying prowess with a legal altitude "flyover" treat at her work, UNR. It's a heartwarming display of family support and shared enthusiasm for Michael's aviation adventures. Let's give a resounding round of applause to both Michael and his outstanding CFI, Nik Joshi, for turning dreams into wings! The sky's the limit, and we eagerly anticipate witnessing the next chapters of his aviation journey.
