Well we had a little mishap here in sunny Florida today.
Seems a student pilot on his first solo flight was on final to runway 25 at
KORL when he was apparently spotted flying the final a little too low. Some
witnesses say that he was warned over the radio that he was too low by
either another pilot or the tower.
The student pilot responded to the warning by pulling up and not applying
power, in effect stalling the airplane over the lake at the approach end of
runway 25.
The airplane stalled and fell into the Lake Barton where the pilot was then
rescued by a passing boater.
The airplane is apparently owned by the local CAP chapter.
