Zach has Mastered Solo Flight!

“Do or do not, there is not try.” – Yoda. Spoken like a true Jedi master… speaking of Jedi masters, have you heard? The padawan now turned master, Zachary Wilson, has officially mastered the art of solo flight by soling in N495SP at KSPZ on runway 6 today! If you don’t know Zachary, all you need to know is that his life is surrounded by Star Wars and Marvel lore along with complex puzzles like solving (and working at) escape rooms. I think it’s completely fair to say that Zachary’s love for puzzles, escape rooms, Star Wars, and Marvel have clearly equipped him with the mindset needed to conquer the domain of the sky (as dramatic as that sounds). Whether it was the Force or the power of the Infinity Gauntlet, Zachary came in equipped and prepared. Zachary, you have battled the winter and have now conquered the heat, huge congratulations on this awesome accomplishment! That final boss—the checkride—is just on the horizon, but with your superpowers and determination, I’m sure you’ll be just fine. And how could we forget the Jedi Master and CFI, Ryan Mill, who has guided Zachary to this incredible success. Awesome work today you two! Now go celebrate!
