Only last Thursday did the Walter Johnson High School senior complete his driver’s test. Four weeks prior to receiving his permit to drive, he soloed and was awarded his student pilot license. Although land and air are his two principal modes of transpor tation, Steve can water ski and loves boats. Of the three, however, Steve likes flying the best ... or the "most. There is a great feeling of freedom in the air. You are on your own ... all alone up there.” The young aviator, son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Callahan, 5403 Linden Court, Bethesda, enjoys Independence. His lessons, taken at the Montgomery County Air Park near Gaithersburg, were paid for by Steve from money he earned as an usher at a Be thesda theatre.

Aviation has always held some fascination for young Cal lahan. At an earlier age he built model aircraft, but said he hasn’t the time anymore. His first experience in the air travel came when he was 13 when he took a brief helicopter sightsee ing trip. This whitted his thirst for flying, although it was four years before he was able to drink the heady wine of single engine aircraft control.
