I soloed at 11h 41min

C150 Aerobat ZP-EPF at Asuncion Intl. airport (SGAS )

Would have soloed earlyer but I run out of money at 7h, I had to get a job first, so I spend 3 months without flying until I could resume the training

It was a memorable day. After doing some touch&goes my instructor said: "I'm wasting my time here, let me off at charlie intersection and make your solo patern!"

It was very special to see the airport from above with an empty seat beside you, knowing that all depends on you now!

The landing wasn't that great but I was very happy!

Following the paraguayan tradition, after returning to the hangar, I was poured over with a few liters engine oil........
