See our new property in Port Aransas, Texas, the "Harbor Inn on Mustang Island": 

On August 13, 2007, our son Joe flew solo for the first time at Iowa City Airport!

Gary Lust, Joe's flight instructor, would have soloed him sooner, but Joe misplaced his wallet -- which contained his all-important FAA Medical document!  Without that, he was not legal to fly without Gary on-board, so Joe may be the first student pilot in history to have a student cross-country flight under his belt *before* soloing!

As can be seen by the video (click here to view it), he absolutely greased all three landings -- a great day, indeed!
