Pensacola, Florida – Navy Ensign Larry A Westberg, son of Mr. and Mrs. Orville P. Westberg of route 2, Colby (Clark Co., Wis.), completed the first step to becoming a naval aviator by soloing a Navq T-34R "Mentor" aircraft at the Naval Air Station, Pensacola, Florida.

The vent marked the termination of five months of intensive training, which included extensive academic, military and physical training.
