first solo
My first solo was at Doncaster Flying Club . Aircraft GBFFE on the 18.08.1989 , instructor Barry Thompson aka top gun . After a quick circuit check we landed , taxied to the threshold , Bazzo said , " stop her here " , he then took off his DC`s put them on his now empty seat and said , " your ready , have fun and dont destroy my expensive headset " . The next fifteen minutes , Doncaster had a large circuit for a grass strip , was a mixture of sheer exitement and horror . One of those very special days akin to your passing out parade and joining the fleet .
