On January 31, Great Commission’s first ground school student was able to take to the skies with Jason Wilkinson.  The two flew in a Cessna 172RG, which is a retractable gear Cessna 172.  Jason was able to show Patrick private pilot and commercial maneuvers and even let Patrick try his hand at straight and level flight and gentle turns.  The day turned out to have very gusty winds and cut the flight short to only about an hour.  Patrick is excited to get back up in the air and start training as a mission pilot himself.
