Congratulations to Zsoee Eisel for passing her Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) check ride today! Zsoee has been doing Young Eagle flights for over a year, so an examiner was probably easy after the kids. Zsoee was working with flight instructor Ed Kalabus and she is pictured in front of N162BS. Zsoee will also be joining Leighnor Aircraft's CFI ranks too, so please welcome Prescott's newest flight instructor, Zsoee Eisel!

We have a really special celebration today!! Pictured below is EAA Ray Scholarship winner Wylie Howe, DPE John McLaughlin and N7027F in the hangar at Cottonwood (P52).

Wylie has just successfully completed his Private Pilot check ride and we couldn't be happier. Wylie started his flight lessons with us over a year ago and has completed the first phase of his pilot training. He now has a license to learn more and it's his ambition to go further.

EAA Chapter 952 (Cottonwood) and Wylie were the recipient of EAA's Ray Scholarship, which is an award of $10,000 for flight training.

We also need to give a special shout-out to John McLaughlin. Due to some paperwork being missing earlier in the week, John made a special trip to Cottonwood today just to finish this check ride off.

Congratulations Wylie!!!!
