Dish Solo

Postby Dish » Sun Oct 12, 2008 12:26 pm

A big thanks to all at Aviators and Aeroden and especially my instructor Udher.

At 17h30 on the 11.10.2008 (give or take a few minutes) - I lined the Bantam up on 03 at Aviators, pinched myself hard to make sure I wasnt dreaming and went through the formalities --- Applied Power and was soon careering down the runway. ALONE. Yes ALONE.... Bantam Shot into the sky without the weight of another person and what follows was a magical circuit. No glitches, all good with a really nice landing back on terra firma....
vhpy vhpy vhpy vhpy

A huge thanks to all involved, it was truly an unforgetable experience and one which i will never forget... :shock:
