Student Pilot makes final landing at MKC !

On January 12^th, Cloud One member Erich Bublitz makes final landing with Designated Examiner Wes McCullough at the Downtown Airport (MKC). From that moment forward, Erich has joined the ranks of Private Pilot. We at Cloud One want to congratulate Erich in several months of hard work and dedication in reaching his goal. Bublitz says he is planning to continue his training for an IFR rating in both of the Club's Cessna and Arrow. "I bet the Arrow is a fun plane to fly also! When I get the 100 hours of total PIC time in the Cessna and 10 dual training in the Arrow, I will be excited about jumping into the left seat of that bird", says Erich.    

Bublitz joined Cloud One in May of 2007 as the club's youngest member with the intention of getting his Private Licenses. "I always dreamed of learning how to fly" says Erich.  In December of 2007, Erich passed his written exam and started prepping for the "Final Check Ride" with McCullough. The Check Ride took place at MKC on Saturday January 12^th at 1000 hours local time his dream became reality. "I'm a little nervous about it" admitted Bublitz the day before the check ride. (Who isn't?) It is apparent that hard work and dedication has paid off for him.

 CONGRATULATIONS ERICH!!
