Cali has gone SOLO!

Postby Cali » Sun Oct 05, 2008 2:22 pm

3 Continents, 8 instructors, both the Southern and Northern Hemisphere's and THOUSANDS of $$$$ and FINALY Cali has gone SOLO!! (^^)

All I need now is 1.4 hrs. Hopefully on the 25th October I will be able to finish this LOOOOONG term project. Solo was great, I did 3.6 hrs. I made gat skoon as soon as the instructor told me to take off. I figured if I head away from the airfield and he wants me to return, it will take me as long to get back as it took me to get there :twisted: Almost got caught out by the weather. Landed with drops on my visor and did 2 nasty landings (**)

Timing has not been on my side, but finally it is all coming together. vhpy vhpy vhpy vhpy vhpy vhpy vhpy vhpy vhpy vhpy

PS: I LOVE flying my trike
