Congratualtions, that's an awesome accomplishment and you should both be proud of him. Remind him though, when he lands safely and rolls that plane into the hanger without mishap, he needs to go thank his maintenance crew. Make friends withe the mechanics, otherwise...well, when your plane breaks down, you don't get to pull over and wait for a jump, now do you?

A big congrats from a jealous guy! You know motorcycles and piloting a plane have many parallels...Constant correction/control maintenance, situational awareness, ect. It would be a natural progression from rider to pilot.

Awesome! Congrats to him!
![]() I don't think I'll ever forget that first solo takeoff. I looked over at the empty seat next to me, and thought "Shit, I'm gonna have to land this thing, no matter what." ![]() |
