Aerie sorted, ATF done, Licence done. ZU-DCR is airborne !
Went past the 50 Hour mark ! I can almost say I can fly !
I am still keeping to calm winds, took my wife to see Bronkhorstpruit Dam from the air, she loved it !
Fly Safe ! (-)

Thanks to all :!:
I know I have a "licence to kill" therefore I will never be arrogant. Safety is first priority.
I'll keep it close for the first 10 with my own aerie before taking pax. My wife just has to be a bit more patient, but she is understanding. Damn, I just realised again what a lucky man I am !
Safe flying !

Yeeehaaaaa! Well done, now is really the time to start learning, but there is nothing like getting up there when it is just you and the elements, a peace and exhilaration like you can never describe! Well done and enjoy and remember safety first!
