First Solo!

11/04/2007 by Pudsey.

It’s been another great day for flying today so me, Uncle Dale and “BD” have been kept really busy! We had a 1 hour trial lesson, a 30 minute trial lesson, and a 45 minute trial lesson…  oooh my fame is spreading throughout East Anglia - everyone wants to fly with me!! Well I must be such a good advert for General Aviation :-). Well my next lesson was a nervous one… not because he was scared of flying, but because of what might happen with me on board - Oi! I don’t think that’s fair Dustin - not my fault the engine inspection hatch hinge broke, I didn’t do the walk round (see “Fur-raising scare“)! Anyway we had a great lesson, taxyed back to hanger 10 and then Dale got out and told Dustin to go and do a circuit. Oi, Dale - come back - now I’m nervous!! Well it was OK and I didn’t have to worry, Dustin completed a brill circuit as he “went solo”. I think today has put to bed the “fly with Pudsey at your peril” tag and now earned me the one of “lucky mascot”, coz now I’ve gone solo and completed the skills test in one week!! So don’t forget to take me with you Debs
