Flying Solo...

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."

That reminds me of the line from the movie "Always" when Richard Dryfus is about to land his plane...dead stick... When asked what he needed he answers "Glider practice".

I've always wanted to learn to fly (always been the back seater). I was even able to go along with a previous boyfriend and his instructor on a checkride of some sort. That was way fun.

Me either.

Debra Jo Fondren was the Playmate of the Year, and my parents were out to dinner.
