Hi all
today i achieved my first solo at Derby Airfield two words bloody amazing!!
ive been doing loads of circuit bashing and was starting to believe it would never happen ie weather unsuitable landings not consistent enough.
but today i did it.
i had no idea my instructor just said ill bugger off you do one on your own !!
couldnt ask for better weather.
one thing i noticed was how light the aeroplane feels on your own!!
truly amazing day just thought id mention it on here
