Scott, Congratulations. Keep this up and you may be the first person on this list to drive and fly a Spitfire! Do you have a hangar ready???
Kristi This morning, Friday, 13 December, my attempts at flying an airplane were so hideous, that my instructor got out of the Cessna 172(on the ground, of course!) and told me to fly by myself! IN OTHER WORDS- After 40 some hours of instruction, I have finally come to terms with landings, and this morning SOLOED! Yes! I flew as "Pilot In Command" for the first time. Well, as "In Command" as a student can be- no passengers, cargo or livestock(Ever try to fit "livestock " in a 172? Maybe lemmings, or a mink or two...) no choice of destination(right- go off that end or the runway, turn about the pattern, come back on that end of the runway) but I- by myself- taxied out, took off- climbed-flew a pretty good pattern- descended- and LANDED- not once, but three times! Even the fact I had to go to work afterwards failed to annoy me today. I have now, officially, had my first solo, and I am happy. :) _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your messages with MSN 8.
