I'm Ever So Proud Of My Son

[jims-terrano]

Today my son did his first solo flight in a Glider today :clap:clap:clap

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 :thumbs:thumbs

Today Dad's happy

Yes Mate very well done, I had a go at the controls of a Piper once many years ago, I lowered the nose so I could see where I was going WHOOPS, Rick

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:thumbs

I did my Advanced Gliding Scholarship at Tern Hill when I was in the Air Cadets at the age of 16 Got the certificate at home still and everything

I also won the Natwest trophy in 2006 for best shot in the region using the L98A Multi Purpose Assult Rifle

I'll never forget my first solo.

"Everybody wants to rule the world" was on the radio as I drove back from the airfield.

I felt brilliant and I'm sure he does too. Congrats
