Alex just completed his type ratings in the L39 and the L29 jets. Thanks to Doug Gilliss and Lt. Zach McNeill for helping get it all done.   Patty Wagstaff also got her type rating in the L39.  In addition, Alex flew his aerobatic routines in both jets to add them to his aerobatic ACC card.  Keoki Gray of Amelia Island Aerobatics played host and let us use his aerobatic box. There was one snafu when the L39's APU starting system malfunctioned.  Richard Klein immediately came down from International Jets in Alabama to get us going again.  Incredibly, he drove down over 10 hours with all kinds of parts and tools just to make sure we could get back in the air. 

Alex may be the youngest L29 and L39 jet pilot in the world! 

Alex flying in the L39 on his first solo flight.  He is flying formation off Lt. Zach McNeil flying the L29.  Now that's the way to make a first flight with a new rating!
