New Private Pilot: Matthew Tisdale
After several scheduling snafu’s, Rich Conté felt compelled to conduct Matthew Tisdale’s checkride at KOAK. After probing the depth of Matthew’s knowledge the flight portion went well and we have another private pilot in our club. Congratulations Matthew!

First Solo: Alex Chan
Alex Chan first solo Thursday 11/4. Landings on 28R & 33!

First Solo: Scott Allen
The weather cooperated, the traffic was light and captain Allen was ready. In no small part due to Clarence Binninger’s excellent instruction before me, Scott’s pattern work and landings were textbook. Congratulations Scott!
