Sean Connolly - Solo
By: - 08/21/11

CFIG Emmett Moran had had enough sitting behind 15-year-old Sean Connolly and finally just couldn’t take any more… So he gave Sean a rope break on his first flight today. Right after that landing Emmett sent Sean on his 1st Solo Flight and Sean did a very professional job of it.

Kudos to Sean for a great accomplishment.
