Hello Everyone

1st Post on here

Today I recorded that very special entry into my logbook - 1st Solo

The aircraft was G-BGAA, a C152 at Stapleford

It was the most fantastic experience ive had apart from doing a loop in a harvard 2 years ago

Thomas:

I went solo in 1957 and I am still flying. You will never forget your first solo and I congratulate you.

If you can keep the enthusiasm that you have today, I am sure that you will have just as much fun as I have had (so far).

Well done!

Well done! Please do your best to get out of the awful spam-cam as soon as you can, and start flying a proper aircraft!

Did another 50 minutes of solo today to add to my 15 minutes of solo I did yesterday, the feeling is amazing! I can't wait until I get into the air again ... ohh well I guess 15:00 isn't that long to wait for 1.5 hrs of solo flying :ok:

Glad you're flying is going well too, I'll be looking to master my CRP5 over the next week or two so I can keep progressing as I have been.

Good luck with the rest of your flying Iceman.

Congratulations, I completed my first solo at shropshire aero club (EGCV) 2 months ago. At 16 years old. It sure is a memorable event. :D You can watch my first solo landing on youtube. YouTube - Landing at Sleap (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cak1t2HbW-A) Enjoy. :)
