The Georgia Peach Soloed!!

Y'all better hold onto your hats 'cause we got ourselves a solo superstar in the making! Derrick Craine just took to the skies solo at KRNO, runway 17L, proving that southern charm knows no bounds! And let me tell y'all, the KRNO pattern was busier than a Georgia Waffle House on a Sunday morning, but Derrick handled it like a true southern gentleman. Derrick's a southern boy through and through, hailing all the way from the peachy state, and let me tell ya, his accent is as sweet as Georgia peaches on a hot summer day! Now, Derrick ain't just any ol' pilot-in-training. Nope, he's a multitasking maestro, driving in from South Lake, juggling dad duties, family time, working, and also keeping things in line as one of GBA's weekend line guys. And let's not forget that infectious smile of his that lights up the whole dang airport.
Huge shoutout to Derrick's wingman, CFI extraordinaire Eric Harned, for guiding him through those first solo flights. With mentors like that, Derrick's future in the skies is brighter than a Georgia sunrise! Keep shining, Derrick! The skies ain't seen nothin' like you yet!
