One of my Chicago black belts, Ed Bilski, called me to tell me he just did his first solo flight in an airplane. That's huge! Here's the backstory. He is being taught to fly by his daughter, Tiffany, an instructor at Lewis University near Joliet, IL. I gave Tiffany her first airplane ride when the family was down here on a vacation and Ed was training with me while here.
Anyway, I guess she cut his shirt-tail off (a pilot tradition) and Ed is one of a very few people who have broken the surly bonds of earth on his own. Congrats again, Ed!
