Thursday 18 June 2008 - SOLO!!!

The solo patch!!!! Can only be worn after soloing, duh!




Our class patch that we made up and purchased ourselves.


Not me!!! But this is what it looks like when I was soloing.

**************************************************************

Today I flew my solo sortie!!!!!! =0

Yep, thats right, all alone! I flew around for 30 minutes and did 4 landings on 2 different runways. It was pretty fun not having an Instructor Pilot (IP) looking over you, which also means that there isn't anyone to cover your ass if something bad happens or you can't land! That clearly wasn't the case today! This was my 501 ride, which means that I only have two rides left! =0

Tomorrow I have my "practice checkride" which means I'll do everything as I would on the real deal 601 checkride, which should be monday or tuesday (I hope)!

  2. Sweet E-man!! Congratulations!! Remember your first solo at Rice Lake? Pops was nervous as you were coming in to dock way too fast. But then you jammed it into reverse and nudged the boat right up to the dock. We all cheered...except Mary who called Pops into her office and gave him a stern warning about letting you solo. 8) Captain
