Pilot Accomplishments

At Lanier Flight Center we recognize that our pilots are the heart of the business. It is with great pride that we join in celebrating their accomplishments and we wish a hearty congratulations to each of our pilots who have completed milestones in their training.

Ellis Childers - First Solo

Ellis Childers took command of a Cessna 172S with outstanding courage and tenacity on the morning of August 24, 2007 at the Gainesville Airport. Ellis is a wonderful student and did an excellent job of landing the Skyhawk; he flew stabilized approaches at the perfect airspeed, touched down gently on the runway centerline and held the nosewheel up during the roll out!

Ellis began flight training back in June and is making fantastic progress toward his certificate. Ellis is one of John Corry's students.
