Default RE: Soloed yesterday

Your success is exceptional. Congatulations. Most people require many instructional seccions. Some take a few years. It took me much longer than the majority of my students. I learned in 1972 before simulators and trainer cords. I do believe you don't truly learn until you have a few crashes under your belt. Anyone else have an opinion on that? I try to learn something from each one of my crashes. Since I have well over 100 crashes (very , very few totals) I have become pretty good, though at 72 years of age, I'm slowly giving up some of the wilder manuervers. Tried some Lomcevacs today but my new twin tailed SPAD does not seem to be able to make one yet. It will though, or die trying.
