New Pilot

"On Wednesday the 5th day of August 2009, Dr. Jon Anthony Smith, did, alone and unassisted take off and land from Tehachapi Municipal Airport (KTSP), thus completing his first SOLO flight." or so the SOLO certificate reads. Dr. Smith is now officially among us in the ranks of aviators. Another pilot now, and the fun begins as we start the next phase of training.
Also on the 5th, I had to put on my DAR hat and issue a "Special Flight Permit". A lot of people do not know that a DAR can issue these, even on weekends! So it was a busy day. including a flight to San Diego, all in all 4 1/2 hours flying.
On Monday the 10th I will be answering my phone "Mountain Hawk Aviation", something that has not been heard for the past three years. it is time to bring the bird back to life.
