I started giving Lillymae flight instruction in a Schweizer 2-33 training glider shortly before she turned 10. Here is Lillymae's first solo flight. This happened on her 14th birthday.
You can see Lillymae spin the plane during her pre-solo training when she was 10 at

Lillymae made her first solo flight in a powered airplane (Cessna 150) on January 9, 2014. You can watch her video of this at

On June 29, 2014, Lillymae passed her checkride and is now a private pilot ASEL (airplane, single engine land). She's 17 years old.
I appreciate the nice comments viewers are posting about this vid. If you would like to contact Lillymae, you'll find her YouTube channel at indiangirlLillymae and her blog at
