My grandson Ryan Young soloed in my Cessna 152 today. He is working on his private and doing very well . It's been many years since I have instructed and on some of the maneuvers he is doing better than me. But then again in c/l stunt he passed me up many years ago. I was concerned he would quit after winning jr. at the worlds in 2010. He still flies with us but not as much. I guess I'm a pretty lucky grandpa. Bill Rutherford

You are indeed. Ryan is one fine young man, and Grampa Bill can take more than a little credit for it. Give him my congratulations on his solo!

Way to go, Ryan! I remember when I soloed in a C-150 back in 1967. It's a beginning. Keep going!

I know the feeling Bill, however it wasn't my grandson, but my son. He was a Junior Champion in AMA Rat, but later on became more interested in sports than model airplanes. It was a grand day when he first soloed. He now has his commercial, AP/ IA and owns the FBO. I'm hoping that one of my grandsons would show the interest your Ryan has. Congratulations to you and Ryan both.

Get him into a taildragger to learn how to REALLY fly! But even with a nosewheel under him, congrats and salutations. I hope he sticks with it and starts work on an instrument rating to assure a long safe life as a pilot.

Way to go Grandpa, Tell Ryan, just like stunt, when the engine goes silent, you have to land.

You are lucky,my grandson has talent,just not much interest.Too many other things going on.

The night I soloed was one of the most exciting moments of my life.

Way to go Ryan!!! I remember my first solo vividly and it's one of the most awesome experiences I've ever had.
Congrats to you Bill on teaching him! You must be on cloud 9

Gee thanks for all the nice comments. No I did not cut of his shirt tail. When I soloed I missed that and so did he. Grandpa Bill
