Rhino park delivers another one

After many moons and much blood, sweat and tears, Big Mac went solo on Saturday at Rhino park.

With a perfect circuit and brilliant landing we just saw

and he had to share his solo circuit with 4 gyros, another Thunderbird, a Rans and a Icarus

, and an audience,

and Rhino circuits are small.
At last now the little red book is in sight.
I tell you this guy was ecstatic.

Hi Guys,
Sorry I am only posting now, have been away from my "photo server" for a few days, thanks for starting the post LDEL
Yes, Ernest was a very happy man, well done Ernest
Here he is just after his first solo take-off !
And just before touch down, a perfect circuit
How is that for a happy face !
The team, Cyril (Instructor), Ernest (Happy student) and Dave (Instructor) from Light Sport Aviation flying school.
We also had a second solo on the day, I did not get many photos or details but the instructor was also Dave, below is the Jabbi just before touchdown
I am sure we will be seeing lots of solo flights and new licenses from Rhino in the future, the school is busy and they have great instructors.
Fly safe,
Rudi
