SOLO!

Click to see pictures bigger.
Well yesterday Cameron finally did his Solo towards his Private Pilots License. So he is on the downward side before he can officially be a pilot :) I'm so proud of him!! He's done so well with taking the extra time to get his hours in even if it means getting up early to go before school. I had the opportunity to be out at the airport while he was doing his solo. Tyson ( his instructor ) has been amazing to work with and is always willing to go out with him. After a few test runs yesterday he got out of the plane and came and got me. We walked out between a taxiway and one of the runways. So I got to be there first hand to watch Cameron from the minute he took off to the minute he landed ( Three Times!) . He did so good! I've been giving Cameron a hard time the last few weeks and been nervous about him wrecking. Which I think I have every right to be with Blaine Pugmire a few years ago and now Bishop Loveless this last week. Thank goodness Cameron always puts it in prospective for me he has a better chance of dieing while driving than in the plane! Just wanted to let ya'll know how proud I am of him and the wonderful progress he's making.

We are so proud of you too Cameron. Get a good pilot job so you guys can come and see us whenever you want. Thanks for not wrecking and making Jessica a young widow. Who is Bishop Loveless???? What happened there? Glad you are loving married life.

Wow that is awesome! I wish I were as comfortable flying :) Scottie still has my finger prints in his thigh from our last trip! Maybe if I knew the pilot I wouldn't be so worried- Cameron next time you're flying to AZ or KY/Cincy area let me know maybe I'll dare take the flight! Congrats again!

Good luck! It's a long hard road! My husband still doesn't have his pilot's license after a year, although he's not going to be a pilot anymore...
