RE: SOLO...I did it finally!
I've been in this hobby for 14 years and I still smile when I am out flying. I miss it right now. I haven't flown in about 3 weeks and i wont be flying till close to the end of the year. The Air Force has me in training for officer status so no flying for awhile. Congrats on your accomplishment. This is a very fulfilling hobby that has been a really great addition to my life. I am even getting my two year old son into it! He plays Realflight every day right now. For him the best part is he doesen't have to share it with Dad!
Congrats and happy flying!!!!
