First solo navex
Had my first solo navex the other evening and actually made it back to the airfield.Went Cov-Leics-Sywell-Cov.
As I levelled out at my planned alt I had one of those horrible 'oh s
t' moments.My mind kept telling me 'you're going to get lost'.
Anyway I set me watch and heading and by some miracle I seemed to be in the right place at the halfway point.When I got to my turning point on time the confidence level started to rise above sea level and I began enjoying myself.Apart from the poor viz flying into the sun on the home leg everything was perfect.
One small step for all you old lags but a giant one for me.
