Don’t let the birthday cake bites and kind heart fool you, because Tyler Shelton came here to fly, and did just that today as he flew solo in N495SP at KRTS on runway 32! Tyler is the kind of person who lights up a room. He’s incredibly thoughtful, generous, and always bringing in snacks to the office (which, let’s be honest, wins instant points around here). But beyond the good vibes and birthday treats is a pilot who means business. Though he’s only been training for just over a month, Tyler has already shown the kind of focus and dedication it takes to go far in aviation. He gives everything he does 110%, and this solo flight is just the latest example of that hard work paying off. Whether he’s baking something new, exploring a fresh hobby, or acting on whatever wild impulse hits him that day, Tyler brings energy and curiosity to everything he does, and it shows in the cockpit... But maybe a little too much energy and curiosity??? Looks like Tyler decided to take a nap on the ramp after his solo. Please join us in congratulating Tyler Shelton and his CFI, Lucas Murphy, on this awesome achievement. Tyler, your solo wings are just the beginning. We can’t wait to see what’s next!
