First Solo – Kate Born
Mar 04 2016Date: March 2, 2016
Aircraft: Cessna 172P
Instructor: Anton Salameh
Location: Monterey, CA
Student Pilot Kate Born departed Monterey’s runway 28L for her first solo flight. Proud instructor Anton watched, listened and videoed her 3 full-stop landings in the pattern. Grey skies and overhead clouds didn’t stop this brave woman!
Kate is also Monterey’s newest part-time office staffer. She’s working two jobs to pay for her training and we wish her all the best in her flying career. So glad we get to be part of your story, Kate!
