A huge congratulations goes out to Shane M. for completing his first solo flight! After kicking CFI John Tiplady out of N266VA, he completed his first three bounces from runway 16 at Portsmouth International Airport (KPSM) on March 13, 2019. Shane is currently an active member of the 157th ARW and working towards his private pilot certificate. Great job, Shane!


Congratulations Shane. Wow, I am so proud of you. Your Granddad is too.
