We found just the right spot for the shirt tail!

Drew found just the right spot to hang his shirt tail! Check out his personalized design with the date, tail number, and an eclipsed sun! 🌝🌚

Drew is flying solo today!

We hope to frame and hang his shirt tail in the classroom. He gets it back when he gets his pilot 👨‍✈️ license!

He will get to design his shirt tail like these.

Drew signing his log book. 📖

Back to the hangar!!

This shirt tail will hang, framed, on our aviation classroom wall. He can have it back when he gets his license!!

Did you know there is a tradition of cutting the new pilot’s shirttails after a successful solo flight? Apparently, before headphones, an instructor would guide the student left and right by tugging on the back of the.shirt!

How does it feel??

Drew is coming in and taking off on his own. His ground and flight instructors are standing behind me, and they are impressed!!

Here he goes!! Drew is flying solo!

If you listen closely, you can hear Drew on the radio with the tower!

Drew is back. Instructor, Brian is now going to talk with him to ensure he’s ready to go solo!

Still getting in that groove!!

They came back in, landed, and took off again to get in a groove!

This is Drew flying a preflight test run with Brian, his instructor.
