Jesse came to me with an extensive aviation background: Air Force, Civil Air Patrol, flight instruction on the mainland.
9 flights later, I’m climbing out of my airplane at the runup area of Runway 8, Hilo International Airport, and Jesse motors off into the gloom.
| Date: | 2007 Nov 12 |
|---|---|
| Airplane: | N41282 |
| Airport: | ITO |
| Dual Instruction in make/model: | 12.6 |
I’m plugged into my hand-held radio, watching him fly around the pattern, and thinking: five thousand dollar insurance deductible.
4 *perfect* touch-and-go’s later, and Jesse has soloed.
Congratulations, Jesse!
