In the morning of August 12, 2016, Student Pilot Jose Gerardo “Chammy” Galang Aquino who at long last reached the most coveted feat of a career in aviation, the “1st Solo Flight” exactly a month after his arrival.
He was released by no other than the very strict veteran Head of the school’s pilot training, the Chief Flight Instructor Col. Arnel Borres, who personally handled and monitored S.P. Aquino.
Incidentally, S.P. Aquino who hails from San Pedro, Laguna and Fernando Air Base, Lipa City is a 3rd generation of the Aquino clan where his paternal grandfather, the late Col Juan Aquino is a member of the defunct Philippine Army Air Corps now Philippine Air Force Flying School Class 42 C during World War II.
Once again congratulations to Student Pilot Jose Gerardo “Chammy” Galang Aquino for the most significant event of a career in aviation, the “1st Solo Flight”!
