Congratulations, Landon, on a well deserved first solo! He did very well. Everyone on the ground was quite impressed by how smooth both of his landings were. His whole family was out there to watch and take pictures. Well done!
The best part was on his very first solo when he got off at 2000 feet he found himself in a kettle with hundreds of Broad-wing hawks! He had never seen them before and to meet up with them on his first solo certainly made it a memorable experience. I told him they were there to welcome him, telling him that you are one of us now! How cool is that?

Dinner at Las Flores afterwards with a lot of stories to share…Show from left to right are: Michael, Uwe, Manolo, Ferenc, David B, Frank, Fraraidoon, and Philippe. Tow pilot David C. (not show) joined us too.
Faraidoon flew his LS4 for the first time and got up to 5,600ft and went to Eagle Lake and back. Philippe running out of lift landed out at Fair Weather safely with our Genesis RS. David C. picked him up with our Towplane 42J after the rain showers had passed. David B. stayed up the longest today with 3hrs 49min.
Dispatcher Nicolas checking them out clearly enjoying the fresh look and comfort.
Kyle safely finished his first tows today with a big smile on his face. Thanks Manolo helping him along the way and signing him off.
