Commemorate your first solo

By Janice Wood · April 26, 2012 ·

Whether it’s your own first solo or that of a friend or family member, Sporty’s First Solo Commemorative Wooden Plaque will keep that memory vivid. The alder wood, laser-etched plaque is custom engraved with the pilot’s name and airplane on two lines.

The words on the plaque read: “Rare is a sense of accomplishment felt greater than after your first solo flight. The thrill and excitement is indescribable to those who have not taken the controls into their own hands.”

Measuring 8 inches x 10 inches, the First Solo Commemorative Wooden Plaque [#7587A] ships within two business days and is available for $29.95 at Sportys.com or by telephone at 800-SPORTYS.
