Congratulations Blake!

Blake and his Dad, Rusty, live across the runway from us, and Blake has been burnin' up avgas like crazy the past year flying solo, waiting on his birthday. The day he took his checkride, we had enough crosswind here (from our worst direction), that we decided to leave "Junior" in the hangar when I had to go on a short trip....anyone that can fly a checkride in that will do fine as a "stick and rudder" guy.
