Although this isn’t really recent, it is a related milestone, so it’s in here. This was the day I flew solo for the first time. It was about 2/3 through the Glider Pilot Scholarship course in Debert, Nova Scotia. I was flying a Schwiezer SGS 233-A cadet glider and went to 2,000 feet AGL to practice medium turns.
I had no idea that a pilot has to go through such rigorous training. Just reading your blog made me feel like I was there! Keep up the good work. We’re all proud of you! And thanks for the blog!!!
Great pic — that’s Unal behind you?
Actually, this was taken during my glider scholarship in the summer of 2006 in Debert, Nova Scotia. I forget this particular instructor’s name.
Excellent site – do keep up the good work.
