Congrats, Stanley! You flew an airplane by yourself 🙂 Such a momentous day for a pilot as your instructor, Jen, watched happily from beside runway 31R while you flew 3 takeoffs and landings without her. Thanks for all your hard work and efforts to reach this milestone. To many more happy landings!

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!
