Congratulations to SOSA's newest solo pilot, Rafael Nunes. He joined SOSA this year and dedicated his time to learning to fly. These photographs show the sequence from getting ready for his first solo flight, his approach and landing, walking the wing of the L-23 Blanik back to the flight line after the flight, and then ... once again, the traditional aviator's baptism of a proper dunking with a bucket of cold H2O.
