Don became a Solo Man today. Well done Don. Don has battled 30kt winds and thermals. He hasn't had a day without cross wind, and then today he went solo on a day with no wind... Don said that it was very strange to fly with no bumps or wind trying to blow you off the runway. He did very well.
Jesse went solo this morning in 20kt NW winds. Hedgeview has been training Jesse and today it was time for the CFI YFT to do a stage check. Three circuits CFI YFT decided to send Jesse solo. Well done Jesse and well done Hedgeview.

Back in the trailer solo: folded and tied down/secured = 16 minutes.
Gotta love all that space for the other toys too!
