First Solo Flight – Jenna Graham

Aircraft: Citabria N990WY
Instructor: Scott Williams
Location: San Jose, CA (KRHV)
A female taildragger pilot slipped the surly bonds of her flight instructor and ascended into the sky to experience the freedom of flying solo. Considering the student pilot is an amazing woman who leads firefighters, we are overjoyed to honor the accomplishment of earning a tailwheel endorsement to solo. She is a student pilot working diligently to become a Private Pilot in our Citabrias. Jenna, there’s seems to be nothing you can’t master. We are proud to be part of your pilot journey. Try not to leave Scott in the dust once you get there 😉
