And in a tail-dragger. Cool. Yes! It's a Citabria 7eca. He had a total of 8 hours in before the solo. His instructor said he would learn more in a tail dragger. Apparently they are tougher to handle. I don't fly.

   Location: Tracy, CA | Congradulations, I know how he feels just by looking at his big smile. I felt the same way back in 1958. You either love flying or hate it, I think he'll be burning up the sky with a F-18 in the near future. |
