Congratulations to Chris Hindle, a student at my school (not my student, but I have flown with him a couple of times when his instructor has been unavailable).
Yesterday, on his 16th birthday, Chris did his first solo flight after just over 13 hours. A great achievement in itself, but not altogether uncommon.
But then, that evening, he did his first solo night-flight too.
Does anyone know of any other students who have achieved both their first day solo and their first night solo on their 16th birthday? I'm sure his mum would be even more proud of him if we could establish that he is the first to do this!
