409tonner Posted September 1, 2014 Author Share Posted September 1, 2014 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.

Piet Fil Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 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). Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
409tonner Posted September 1, 2014 Author Share Posted September 1, 2014 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
