On Wednesday, September 27, 2006 my son Brennan J. Skelly took his first solo flight. The flight took place at 10:45 Central time at Grand Prairie Municipal Airport located in Grand Prairie Texas USA. The sky was a pristine blue and the winds were light and variable.
After a written examination and a few test runs, Brennan's instructor released him for solo. Brennan flew the pattern and made 2 perfect landings and “one like his dad makes”. (Whatever that is supposed to mean!!)
Brennan is age 19. He currently attends a local college and in 2007 he will transfer to North Dakota University to attend the Federal Aviation Administration Air Traffic Controller program. He works part time at Grand Prairie Municipal Airport with the very important duty of fueling the general aviation fleet. He is also certified to “Hot Fuel” the emergency helicopters that are based at that location. In his off times he enjoys working in the shop with his father on the Europa XS project.
Brennan represents the third generation of pilots for the Skelly family. Upon completion of his flight he notified his 90 year old Grandfather James E. Skelly, who proudly flew in the European theater of W.W.II and later became a military flight instructor.
Way to go son! Your father is very proud.
