Well, officially, at the age of 14, I have completed 4 solo flights in a Schweizer SGS 2-33A! I solod yesterday in one of the biggest rainstorms Ive seen out there, I couldnt see a thing out of my canopy because of the rain, and there was no lift, so I did 40 minutes of paterns, but hey! Who cares?!? I still solod!!! (p,s., im too tired to spell properly

)

Heh, most American kids don't have it like this. It ain't like you see on TV, anyway...

Congrats Serenity!

All the Best,

hap

p.s. Rog, I live in America, working a grocery store, and have never flown an airplane by myself.

Thanks all! And Roger, it wasnt that expensive, im not rich, nor is my family. I had to work for the money to fly, and I am fortunate enough to know a very generous man with 2 planes and his CFI. I flew for $10 a flight, not exactly expensive

Although after 38 flights (With weather the way its been, there hasnt been enough lift for more than a pattern) that $10 adds up

WTG bud! Have my PPL-G...really fun way to fly. I bet you can't wait to get out of that 2-33 and into something more slippery.

Serenity · « **Reply #13 on:** March 04, 2007, 06:51:32 PM »

Oh yeah! As soon as I get rated for auto-launch I should be ditching the 2-33 and flying a 2-32. And thanks all. Especially you ball, I know how hard that must have been for you

Wow, they let you fly an airplane by yourself but you still need to be 15 and have a liscensed driver with you to drive a car.......
