Thank you Tim, you're a generous man. Glad to be in the frat, boss! 8)

Thank you all to my fellow WIX'ers! I'm a darn lucky kid. I can't believe how fortunate I am to get these opportunities. I'd like to share them with all of you!

Here's some shots my mom took...

Here's the start up before my solo...
Image

Dad and I out on the runway ready to go...
Image

Our Break To Land...
Image

I taxi back in after my first solo...
Image

My shutdown...
Image

The smile says it all :)
Image

I took this on a subsequent flight with my mom's point-and-shoot, just this one pic for proof!.

Trey, the newly-minted T-6 Pilot :D

Congrats Trey,

Does anyone know if some of the young guys flying mustangs and t-6's ever get together and fly formation? Or if a few of them group up and go to airshows? I think that would be a really cool thing to see!
