Eagles' Wings Flight Training - Since 1984

Students I've Soloed     

   I have always said that flight instruction is a good job, if you like to see other people's dreams come true!  It has been a privilege and a pleasure to share in the dreams of so many people.  

    Below is a list of student pilots I've soloed, beginning in February 1985. 

  You'll also find some other local aviation history here.

Some browsers are not showing the students who soloed after January 1, 2004. I am working on this problem.

*   Pilot's names marked with an asterisk (*) actually accomplished their very first solo flights somewhere else, usually at a much earlier date. Maybe because of a long time lapse, (sometimes decades) or using a different aircraft, regulations, and prudence, required a fresh solo, and the review leading up to it.
