I'm Ever So Proud Of My Son
Today my son did his first solo flight in a Glider today
 I'm ever so proud of him, he's not old enough to drive but he can fly. I'm also very jealous but in a nice way  Today Dad's happy

Well I've flown in and had a go of the controls of a glider years ago and occasionally I get chance to go up in a small trainer aircraft that is capable of aerobats which is awesome. But I have to say going up on your own is fantastic. He's now going to look at the next level up. Fingers crossed we win Euromillions this week and then I can join him
