Grrr

>>flown by a student who has very few flying hours and is maxxed out just trying to fly S&L, let alone having to cope with a fast jet 4 ship breaking into the circuit <<

Had to laugh at that one. I did my first solo in a JP at a Jaguar station. I remember calling for take off only to interrupted by a Jag 4 ship on the break to land. They were told to hold off because of a 'student on his first solo'.

I distinctly remember being about half way through my take off roll when a voice called out of the ether:

"Is he airborne yet?"

Under the circumstances I thought it was rather an unsympathetic call.
