Microlighters

Hi guys

Just wanted to share the best day of my life with my friends here at Microlighters

After 20 hours I (finally) went solo this morning

Luckily I had my HD170 with me to record it, here's some shots (it was on video mode)

When Uncle Alex ordered a full stop and asked me to unplug him I realized eish this must be it, here he's checking comms My first solo take-off, boy does she climb without a pax, I almost messed it up because I came off the throttle too much when she shot up like a rocket, Uncle Alex quickly corrected me on the radio "full throttle!!!" First solo landing approach and touch down, she just wants to keep flying And another round Congrats from Uncle Alex Best of all my Rhino Park solo "certificate" - "Remember Always Fly Safely!" I feel really blessed to have such amazing instructors at Rhino Park Flight School, I would like to take this opportunity to thank them all:
Marius Nel
Pieter Kriel
Henry van den Berg
Uncle Alex Rudd

Seems like a really long way to go still before I get my license but getting to this point has been a real tough but extremely rewarding experience

Lastly but certainly not the least I would like to thank you guys at Microlighters for your wealth of knowledge I keep getting on a daily basis from crawling these pages

Cheers
Ant

Congrats! Well done and fly safely!

Congrats, may you never forget this blessing
Jean.

Well done. Enjoy every moment and fly safe!!

Nice one Ant -

Congrats, fly safe and enjoy!

Congrats Anthony!

"FULL THROTTLE!!"

Yip, I remember that too...Your fist solo circuit is the moment when you realise that you CAN actually do this flying thing.
Well done sir, enjoy the rest, and absorb as much as you can from those "destructor's".... believe it or not you will miss their expert advice.. (en die "Uitkakke" ) when you qualify. That's when the learning REALLY starts.

Fly Safe bud

Thanks guys!

The day was bitter-sweet...

A few moments after we arrived at the club house Uncle Alex was informed about the passing away of he's mother - our thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time...

WOW - congratulations to you Anthony - isn't it the most amazing feeling; the absolute best...

My Condolences to Alex for the passing of his mum... my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time.

Y'all have an awesome week, and fly safe...

Linda...

Big CHEERS and congrats Old Fella............. you will look at the world a whole lot differently now. Enjoy and be safe.

Well done Anthony. Enjoy, will see you around.

Congratulations

Well done Ant

Hope you have many many awsome hours in the Air.
Fly safe and like demon says "Welcome to the Fun part of your Life"
