Well done Blue Angel. Best feeling yet is when that talking baggage gets off and allows you to do it all on your own. Next best feeling is when he signs you out solo in GFA!

Keep us updated as to your progress.

Hi Blue Angel - welcome to the club - Fly like a true angel - its an experience you will never forget - At our school we give the " new " fly boys a special R10,00 note which fits perfectly in the blue Logbook - they are brand spanking new and follow in sequence - who knows one day whilst sitting on the veranda of the old timer home you may just meet a long lost buddy with a blue logbook and a R10- which follows ..............

Fly safely Leprachaun
A pilot lives by perfection , or not at all!
