Robert Soloed!!

"You don’t have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great." Robert Petry is awesome to begin with, but now he is a “great” student pilot. This morning Robert experienced how great his skills are by confidently and safely flying N670CS all by himself at KRTS, greasing those landings on runway 08. Troy Ware, his CFI, watched from the ramp as Robert got a taste of freedom. Robert has the most incredible big smile which I am sure was plastered on his face the whole time. Robert works in aviation serving aircraft on the ramp with the goal of one day being in the cockpit. Today he achieved a huge milestone as he cemented the fact that he can fly safely and proficiently. So happy for Robert and this memorable flight. Huge congratulations to him and Troy!!
