Soloed on my 16th birthday
« on: September 14, 2010, 08:04:41 PM »

Just after first flight

My instructor right, and Ryan Short left

Soloed on my 16th birthday.

I was also the guinea pig for Ryan's new camera, so he stuck it on the sunvisor during my solo. I was humming "The Final Countdown" during the duration of the flight, and yes, you can hear it.


I will post the video from the cockpit-cam as soon as my instructor uploads it.
