Anyway, Im excited because I get my wings from the USAF Auxiliary in two days... Im the youngest one in the squadron to earn them. The funniest part was, the pilot who towed me, his name was Elmer Udd. Im not kidding, ive seen his driver's liscence. And he looks kinda like Fudd too...

I swear, I once encountered a USAir pilot who looked 14. There's no way he was even shaving.

Just tell the chicks you're "Rafe".

Congrats! I remember my first solo. Fun, exciting.

I remember saying you should save up some money to buy yourself a new computer, but flying lessons are a much better use of your money

Congrats.

It's even more satisfying doing something that you had to earn the means to achieve it. You learn the value of your dreams and reality for what it takes to be able to do something.

Oh and BTW, a flying date is a real lady killer especially looking at the city lights.

We have to be down 20 min. before sundown, or not land at all. The Army takes over the field at night. We dont really have city lights, but some GREAT waterfalls, and sunset flights up and down the beach...

We should clarify, this is a glider. Fixed wing you can't solo until 16, but the G rating will help you be dead on with your landings once in a powered aircraft. Congrats dude.
