A big congratulations to Steve Schmidtfranz on flying solo in an airplane for the first time! It has been a busy September of flight training at SMAT and with only six days of flight training Steve took to the sky alone. He was able to takeoff, fly the airport traffic pattern and land several times without any trouble. You too could experience the satisfaction of flying an airplane by yourself. It takes focus and dedication, but I firmly believe that almost anyone can do it. Video of the flight should be available soon.
