Ryan Madole is a Rootin' Tootin' Solo Pilot!

Well, howdy there, partner! Ain’t it just the purtiest mornin’ down here in the valley? Sure beats all that rain and snow we been sloggin’ through! Now, I reckon you mighta heard the latest buzz ‘round these parts—word is, there’s a new cowboy in town. Ain’t just any ol’ greenhorn, neither. They say he’s got wings like an eagle and a reputation to match… Alright, alright, I’ll drop the act—but had to tip my hat to Ryan’s love for country music. All jokes aside, today’s a rootin’-tootin’ kind of day ‘cause the one and only Ryan Madole saddled up and took to the skies solo for the first time in N37JA at KRTS on runway 26! To set the scene for y’all, Ryan strutted in this mornin’ with a gleam of pure determination in his eyes. Without a moment’s hesitation, he kicked his instructor, Andrew Spanier, to the curb and took the reins solo. And when his wheels kissed the ground? Well, let’s just say that runway’s now slicker than a fresh batch of churned butter in the mornin’. Let’s give Ryan and his high-flyin’ flight instructor, Andrew Spanier, a yeehawwww and congratulations on this amazing accomplishment! Awesome work to the both of you!
