Oshkosh, WI- Cadet 2d Lt Morgan Volbrecht (pictured at left, right) made his first flight alone on Sunday, June 15th, at the controls of a Civil Air Patrol Cessna 172.
He is learning to fly at the Civil Air Patrol National Flight Academy, Whittman Airport, Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Volbrechtis one of 17 student pilots at the flight academy to solo. He took instruction from flight instructors, Major Tom Mescher (pictured at left, center) and Capt John Thompson, and made his solo flight from Whittman airport in Oshkosh.
Ground and flight instruction with certified flight instructors for the past week has prepared the student pilots to take the controls of the aircraft and fly by themselves for their first solo flight.
Volbrecht is the son of Larry and Tracy Volbrecht of Walworth, Wisconsin and has been in Civil Air Patrol, the official Auxiliary of the United States Air Force, for several years.
He is a member of the Walco Composite Squadron where he holds the position of Flight Commander in the cadet squadron.
