First solo in the L-23 glider. Had to fly a couple of check flights, then over to the ops shack to write the endorsements in my logbook.
The walk back to the glider was a long one.
Then my first tow by myself. Got a tiny bit sideways on takeoff, but it fairly leapt into the air which saved me.
Felt all funny on the tow knowing that I was up there in a big metal glider just depending on my own flying skills to get down safely again. It's lovely and quiet in a glider, and with only simple instruments, you can pretty much just enjoy the view.
Released at 2000 feet, flew around a bit, then headed back to the IP and did a nice pattern and landing.
Just a wonderful feeling.
