Justin Darby First Solo
On the gloomy afternoon of May 24th, after a couple of practice touch & go’s with his instructor at OAK, Justin was ready for some weight loss and went at it alone in 6605D. As he taxied out traffic at the airport suddenly tripled, but Justin executed four flawless landing on 28L.
Congratulations!

Congratulations to Joseph Unruh!!
Winds finally abated on Sunday, and as it turns out when it is not 20 gusting to 32 out there, Joseph Unruh is able to land an airplane. After a few touch and goes at oakland he was ready to go… sadly we kept having to avoid a cub towing a banner over the Coliseum – which as we all know by now is a harbinger of the dreaded Stadium TFR. So off to Livermore – for a few more touch and goes with 200 pounds of excess baggage.
Joseph did great with 3 touch and goes on 25 right and left over at LVK without those 200 pounds of hot air. On the third one his instructor got a bit worried – as the tower extended his downwind to just shy of the Altamont pass.
If you see him around the club, he deserves a pat on the back. Here’s a quick shot of Joseph after all the excitement.
