Glider solo at age 14

The BBCreported today that at 14 years and 2 days old, this youngster has soloed a glider.

BBC News - Boy, 14, 'youngest person' in UK to fly glider solo

On TV his Mum said that although he was supposed to fly a standard circuit, he "went sightseeing" over Bicester on this flight - I hope that's just a Mum's bit of artistic licence!
