Ches Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Am now 72Yrs and have just received my pilots cretificate. I soloed on the 23.4.07 with 14 hrsof instruction. flight tested on 31.10.07. at 29hrs all in a DRIFTER. Solo in Jab 160 1.2.08 and solo in Jab230 28.2.08 and now have total hrs of 64 and trying to fly as often as possible weather permitting. I have started the nav so far have 2 flights and enjoying every minute Its a great feeling to go down to the airfield cheque the plane over, jump in it and fly, now i just have to pinch myself at times just to realise that this is not a dream. its for real when Im flying up by my self.

Yenn Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Welcome Ches. It's good to have another old timer on board. You are never too old to fly all the time you can get into the pilots seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
