Congratulations to Howard Linker of Glastonbury, Connecticut whose tri-gear, AeroVee powered Sonex (S/N 0697) flew for the first time on October 7th! Howard deserves a persistence award, making it to the finish line a little later than some: “After 16 years …it was a thrill to enjoy my first ride,” writes Howard. Gold Wings are on the way!
