Congratulations to Richard Boothe for accomplishing his first solo today!  Now each one of our planes has been christened with a solo by one of our wonderful students!  Richard completed the list, flying in our Cessna 172 N5253R. Today, Richard’s flight started at 8am on a beautiful morning. Clear skies, calm winds, and mild temperatures prevailed as Richard and Tom headed out to the ramp.  After a few trips around the pattern Tom requested the “option” which would permit a full stop so Tom could get out if all went well. All went fantastic, and Tom called for the full stop to be let out.  Richard completed two trips around the pattern and two very nice landings.  Due to time constraints, that had to be it for the day.  Well done Richard!
