🛩️ My first solo flight - it was FUN! After a year of lessons, I finally flew solo. Thanks to instructors Peter Olt & Günter Krenn.

Weirdest part: no one next to you to check decisions. Just me, my checklists, and self-talk! 😉

First landing was aborted (missing kilos matter!), but the next 3 were better. Taxied back with a huge smile. Amazing feeling in our Aquila A211!

Still learning, but thriving on the responsibility. ✈️

#Aviation #SoloFlight

Delivering mail by plane can be so relaxing ...

Here are a few impressions of my short hop from Putnam, CT to Hyannis, MA:

#SimulationGame

Still one of my all time favourite games on the C64 and way more enjoyable than Flight Simulator II - this is Solo Flight, 2nd Edition ...

... shots below from today's pre-dinner circuit pattern, guided and with actual speech output (C64 version only AFAIK).

Will do mail runs in Milwaukee later tonight, the new #Turbo2000 gamepad makes it feel like flying a RC model plane ... 😅

Completed my first #CrossCountry #SoloFlight today! (following the same route as my dual night XC last night)

Getting very close to a #pilot's license now!
