After 8 months of many hours of studying and practicing, Spencer received his private license on March 5th! Spencer is from Baraboo and is a postal employee at the Lake Delton Post Office. He is married with 3 small children. For many years, Spencer has thought of getting his pilot’s license, and after taking a discovery flight in July, he finally decided to do it. He thought he would never actually get the ticket so he made a bet with us here at the FBO. We told him WHEN he got his license, he would have to shave his beard and hair off his head. He got his ticket and he got cleanly shaven!! Congratulations to Spencer and his new look! |

After many years, Bill finally received his instrument rating! Make sure you congratulate him when you see him! |
