My 14-year-old son's take-off for his first solo flight in a glider (or sailplane). He did a short patern fight around Crystalaire Airport at Llano, CA and made a perfect landing! His dad and I, as well as his instructor Martin Martorana, are so very proud of him.

Give him my heartiest congratulations. Just 14 years old!
AH - I saw that the turnoff for the airport also leads to Valyermo - so yes, Llano IS close to it.
However did you stand and watch?
I imagine that you were pretty nervous...
Congratulations! That's something I could never do.
Congratulations, and a spray of champagne on all of you.
Some achievement, being so young! Congratulations.
you must be very proud !! great experience !
That must have been an awesome experience! Beautiful photo too!
Isn't it too young to be flying by yourself at 14...
I admire him AND you for having the courage to look!!!
Bravo ! I wish him all the very best for a bright future.
Fourteen and gliding solo, wow! Well done!
Oh my gosh! I can't imagine my 14-year-old son flying! I get nervous when he snowboards alone.
