 Pre-flighting (checking) the plane:


Fueling up!

Flying with the instructor: Take-off & landing 1





Flying with the instructor: Landing 2


Pulling in: Instructor jumping out....we're about to go!

"Foley traffic Cherokee 54Juliet student solo take-off runway 18 Foley" (in other words...Hey everybody I'm by myself and taking off for the first time!)



That little speck in the sky is Devin

"Foley traffic Cherokee 54Juliet student solo final runway 18 full-stop Foley" (in other words...Hey everybody I'm by myself and LANDING for the first time!)


 Take-off #2



Landing #2



 Take-off #3
 Up & Away!

 Going Around:

 Landing #3




Taxi-ing after final landing:




"Hey everybody! I'm still alive!"




The removing of the 'shirttail' (in this case, shirt front). That is the instructor Devin worked with most of the time.



Wife & baby gets to help




Devin then signs his shirt to be hung on the hangar wall

Airport owner stapling Devin's shirt on the hangar wall:


Shirt originally said "Remove Before Flight" Devin crossed out "before flight" and wrote in "After solo" and included the plane#, "Miles," date, & 'Foley.'
