Brody Howard submitted this photo and note: “This is my 17-year-old son returning from his solo short cross country. It was a beautiful day for flying in Minnesota and Iowa. Thanks to Jim, Johnny, and Jason at Accelerated Aviation at Owatonna Degner Regional Airport (KOWA) for taking on a young, aspiring pilot.”

Great to see the youth still wanting to fly. Shocking is, I soloed in the same type airplane, at age 16, in 1973 ! It is time we had a modern fleet of training aircraft.
