First Solo

[THRILLSEEKER]

VC10

Thank you for your wise words. As a Royal Air Force aircraft engineer like you once were I too have that uncontrollable desire to fly. One that is seeing me right now go through the selection process at a few integrated schools with the hope of putting my PVR in very soon and heading out there into civy street. I have chosen to go down the integrated route, purely a personal preference and I am in no way saying that it is a 'better' route, there has been far to many discussions on this forum about that to cover it here. It hadn't even occurred to me that I may not like flying solo; I mean it is a job that I have dreamed about doing for years and for that I am bound to take to it like a duck to water - or not as it may seem.

Anyway, what I am trying to say is that from your wise words I am going to at least once or twice get myself down to my local flying school and actually see that I like the sensation of flight in a small light aircraft.

I wish you luck in your career change, one that I am sure will pay off for you!
