Something about this shot is pure. This last week I’ve been super busy with content and getting Leif and Sara ready for their checkrides. I apologize that the posts have been infrequent! Truth be told, it’s moments like these that I do what I do. In this photo Leif is showing off his practiced skills, with the excitement of a checkride a few days away.
