Default New PPL!

Exactly one year after he soloed in Eagle's Nest One (on his sixteenth birthday,) Austin Malcomb was signed off in flying the same RV-12. He is doing it the way we all wish we could--getting started as soon as possible, and in a great flying airplane. He was the first to solo on his 16th BD in an experimental, and now (we believe) the first to get his license in one on his 17th.

We are very proud of Austin. Beside being such a young pilot, he was an Eagle Scout at 15. He represents what we hope for for all our student/builders.

Bob
