Nervous…..update p2

My only-just-gone 17 year old son, is currently flying over Oxfordshire, Worcestershire and west mids on his cross country solo flight for his private pilots licence

I cant sit still here at home, so much adrenaline. Need the dibb to hol my hand. Proud and sick all at the same time.

I imagine this is what an Olympic mum feels like! 😜

Thank you! I’m pleased to say he’s landed, and I’m feeling much calmer…
Til next time….!

My son did his PPL when he was about 25 and I stood and watched him take off solo, it is a bit scary. Then he took me and his dad up for a flight over the humber bridge, over our house and down the coastline it was a very proud moment

Wow! I’ve not been up with him yet, it’s bad enough being on the ground. He has another flight tomorrow, a couple more written exams and then possibly all done. Ridiculous. He was only 17 in June. I’m properly gobsmacked.

How amazing, that is definitely a new one on me, I didn't realise you could take them that young!
Does he want to fly for a career?
