Thursday morning solo!!

While others were sleeping in this morning Mike McCain was soloing an aircraft!! Mike flew his first few laps without an instructor at KRTS, runway 26, in N670CS! He has been flying in his family’s Bonanza for years and recently decided he wants to be the pilot in command which brought him to GBA. As a business owner, his schedule is a tough one. But, he set this goal and he is making it work. Today, he saw how sweet solo flight is as he pulled off the runway, let his CFI Mark Montague out, then taxied and took off. Mark hid behind the PAPIs monitoring Mike on the radio and photographing this most memorable flight. Congratulations to Mike and Mark!! We are so excited and grateful to get to work with Mike as he continues to progress toward his Private Pilot Certificate. So happy for you Mike!!
