Tim's First Solo

Well, He did it.  I even took out a life insurance policy on him and made myself the beneficiary but as with most of my stock trades, it was a waste of money.

 

Father and Son, Student and Teacher.  Good job, guys.

 

 

Almost at the point of No Return.  Not quite in the air yet and can still stop this foolishness.

 

 

Whoops, never mind.  I'm committed now.

 

 

When I had my first solo, this was the point where it hit me.  I was on downwind and looked over to ask the instructor a question and I realized he wasn't there.  It was a good thing it wasn't an important question.

 

 

All Right.  I can do this.  No question in my mind.  I can do this.  Maybe.

 

Man that ground is close.  Did I remember to put the gear down?  Was I cleared to land?  Too late now.

 

Greased It!!!  I don't see what the big deal is.

 

 

I guess that guy with the camera trusts that I know how to use the brakes.
