Skyflyte’s Gill goes Solo

I asked my partner Peter Reed (C.F.I. of Skyflyte Flying School) to teach me a few of the basics of flying a plane about 3yrs ago - because we fly everywhere together and thought - just in case of an emergency, I might need to know some pointers!!

Well I quickly found out that there were no basics - you either knew how to fly or not.......challenge on!

So I decided to have a go and look where I am today....

This is my 1st Solo Flight (which was an absolutely amazing experience for me). It was at Devonport (YDPO) in Tasmania on a picture perfect day in our Foxbat A22LS. I intend to go on and get my RAAus Pilot Certificate.

No rush - just enjoying my flying and instruction with Pete, the man with eternal patience and unconditional support.

Hope you enjoy this 'Slamming it Down' SOLO as much as I did.
