Florida high school senior David Lyon was surprised by his flight instructor when he was asked to produce his logbook on the downwind leg for Runway 25 at Orlando Executive Airport. “I’ll always remember that moment,” Lyon said, when John Parsons requested he dig out his paperwork. “He signed my logbook and pilot endorsement in the air” and then cut Lyon loose for his solos after the pair taxied to the ramp.
