Marlon Tessarzyk is CISS's Newest Private Pilot Glider

After a couple of years of patient waiting, Marlon became old enough to meet the FAA requirements and completed his Private Pilot Glider check ride on August 13. Josh Daisey was the crew chief, assisted by Gina, and Chris Hall was the wing runner for the event. Lynn Joyce was the tow pilot.

Marlon looks quite happy with his accomplishment, and DPE Ron Ridenour is also smiling. A good sign. Although not shown in the picture, Marlon's instructor and father, Olaf,  was also smiling.
