Finally bagged that First Solo!
Saturday 13th January finally saw the intrepid Monkeyboy stop swinging around in the trees and take to the skies in a PA28 on his own at Cambridge!
Wow......I couldn't stop smiling on the drive home afterwards!
Now I know what Cloud 9 feels like..

I sang `I Want To Break free` on my first solo,interrupted of course by the downwind checks.Well done and welcome to the club.Now stand back and watch the bank balance drop.
PS.Who is it who breeds the bugs that bite you on the a%se on your first trial flight??.

Well done Monkey.
I will always remember my 1st solo but for rather different reasons.
Let lose around the circuit in a Supercub I thought I was the dogs Bollo*%s. Raybans donned and window open I decided to chill out on downwind and popped my arm up on window frame. As I inadverdently moved my elbow back the wooden prop thingy suddenly went to idle, yep, I had hit the rear throttle,DOH, never realised it only took .025 seconds for the cheeks of your arse to pucker (handy fact for your Human performance exam!!)
