My First Solo In The Aerotrek A240!

After several months of not flying this winter, my father in law and I received his new airplane. The new plane is an Aerotrek A240 and it is a lot of fun to fly but there was definitely an adjustment for me going from the 1946 Aeronca Champ to the Aerotrek. Today I did my first solo and unlike when I did it in the Champ....this time I had way more confidence.

Thanks again! I just did a long solo a few days ago in this plane. It was the first time my father in law told me to leave the pattern while solo so it was a big deal to me! HAaHA!

I recognize that field. I picked up my A240 there from Rob.

Yep that is Shawnee airport in Bloomfield Indiana. My father in law delivers planes for Rob all over the country.
