While most people were still hitting snooze this morning, Caleb Lin was already at KRNO 17L, cool as ever, launching N37JA into the sky solo. No audience, no big scene, just one student, one plane, and a calm morning that never stood a chance. This wasn’t luck. It wasn’t a fluke. It was the result of dedication, discipline, and laser-sharp focus. Caleb has been putting in the work for this milestone, and let’s be honest, hard work is more afraid of Caleb than the other way around. Born in Guam, fluent in five languages, and now thriving in the dry Reno climate (despite claiming to hate the heat), Caleb brings serious brainpower and humility to everything he does. He doesn’t make a big deal about being impressive; he just is. Today, he added “soloed an aircraft” to an already long list of accomplishments. Huge congratulations to Caleb, and to CFI Lucas Murphy, who helped guide this sky warrior to solo success. The bar just got raised.
