Congrats 409! Truly one of those milestones in life for those few of us who defy the force which keeps us earthbound.

Thanks Guys .Wish it happened 25 years ago but thats life .Hopefully get it all done by years end and look at getting my own aircraft .Family and freinds are hounding me for a ride.Flying is like every thing in life ,you learn something every day , the day you dont is the day they put you in a box and kick the dirt in on top of you.

 

Cheers

Great stuff! how did it feel? Were you surprised at how much quicker everything happened? Did you talk to yourself the whole way through?

Well done on the solo, you've crossed the line from the masses to the few. Enjoy the journey it's all fun (intimidating, frustrating and scary at times but fun).

Yep all happens a bit quicker 1 up and I did talk myself around the circuit .I wasn't nervous as I had the confidence I could do it and I am sure Col wouldn't let me go if he was worried I would bend his plane .Down wind leg goes straight over my house so the family was out watching and yes it felt awesome to finally achieve something I have dreamed of all my life.
