Last Sunday my father and I went for a flight in the little yellow Cessna 150 that I helped bring back from Kansas. It was a very nice day and we flew into my favorite grass strip, Lee Bottom.

After his first solo, Kevin liked flying so much he decided to buy his own airplane! He found this yellow Cessna 150 in Hill City, Kansas. In July we drove out there, checked the plane over and flew it 9 hours and a 1,000 miles back across the country to Indiana. It was quite the adventure as we dodged thunderstorms and covered lots of unfamiliar territory.

Lots of flying at KBAK in the last few weeks. Here are some photos of recent solos by some of my students. Adam soloed in the Cessna 152 last month. Haley took her very first flight alone last week in a Cessna 172. Josiah was as excited as anyone I've ever seen after he got back on the ground after flying a Piper Warrior solo for the first time.

Here are some photos from space of a trip a Student and I took to Rough River, KY from Columbus, Indiana last week.

Three busy weeks of Convair training is completed. Here are some interesting videos about the type of aircraft. Many of them were built in the late 1940's and 1950's.
