Congratulations Penguina - I hope your flying continues to give you a lot of happiness.. .. .I have really enjoyed reading the recent posts re first solo, partly because I hope to be in a similar position in the not to distant future, but mostly because it is very heartening to read about so many people experiencing such deeply felt pleasure in life. There have been ecstatic posts from people from all sorts of age groups, income groups, from all walks of life.. .Getting rare in these times to see this, and it is becoming a high point of my daily Pprune.. . . . <small>[ 27 March 2002, 23:58: Message edited by: chickenhawk66 ]</small>
