New Soloed Student Pilot!!

David French and his CFI, Troy Ware, took full advantage of the break in the crazy Northern Nevada weather this morning and achieved a major aviation milestone. This morning, David soloed at KRTS, runway 08, in N670CS! It was busy at Stead, not because of other aircraft, but the coyotes were out causing some traffic on the runway. Troy chased them off so David could show his parents, who were there watching, that he knows how to grease a C172 onto a runway. Plus safely control an aircraft David loves aviation and is very focused on his goals! He is a student at UNR, learning how to fly, and working with his dad on their Fuji LM-2, 340hp supercharged aircraft. Google it! It is pretty awesome! First things first though...Private Pilot in the lovable C172 then onto bigger and faster things. Great job David on quickly acquiring the skills needed to solo! Huge congratulation to him and his CFI Troy!
