How NOT to solo...
I was reading through the 100 Years of Aviation - Iowa Takes Flight
section on the Des Moines Register site (http://desmoinesregister.com/extras/flight/index.html) and found this article: http://desmoinesregister.com/extras/...oderquist.html. It talks about a guy that took his first solo flight in a C172 over Des Moines after threatening his instructor at gunpoint almost 47 years ago... If you get a chance, look through the site and see a lot of famous names that lived, grew up, visited, were (or will be)born, etc., in Iowa aviation including Orville and Wilbur Wright, Amelia Earhart, Clyde Cessna, Glenn Martin, Donald Luscombe and a lot of others...
