For the Tomahawk Leader

TOMAHAWK – Tomahawk-area resident Paige DeKiep completed her first solo flight at the Tomahawk Regional Airport on Monday, July 22.

DeKiep recently started flying lessons through KTKV Flyers, a local flying club that operates a Cessna 172 and a Redbird flight simulator located at the airport. 

Flight instructor Kirk Zastrow noted that first flight is one of the milestones on the way to obtaining a Private Pilot Certificate.
