It's such a special feeling when you get to reuse the airplane again after a landing.
Nice job Adam.

It was an odd feeling watching it from the ground! Sounds really cool.

Amen! He actually did his first solo in a J3 six years ago, and also had some training in the C140 back then. He got the tailwheel endorsement before that J3 solo. My dad also had me do my initial training in tailwheel. Something I've always been grateful for.

Bryan,
Pass along my congratulations to Adam. He now joins a very elite group of sons of Sonex pilots to become licensed pilots themselves. Very special.
