Thank you all. It was fun, in a terrifying-thrill-ride sort of way. Great day for it, no wind and little traffic. I thought the usual thing for student pilots on their first solo : "Gee, I'm flying this all by myself!" followed quickly by : "Crap. I've got to land it by myself now!". :-) :-)

But my instructor said to just do what I had been taught and practising ( minus his weight in the plane ) and it will be fine. So I did, and it was! :-)

Cheers, Mike.

Wow. That's an amazing spread of ideas. They each have their own position of knowledge ( no-one can encompass everything ), so you get a more wholesome assessment from their sum rather than from their differences.

The one I especially like is Jane Goodall's "One of the biggest problems we face today is a feeling of helplessness". So true, as this turns people inwards to fear and smaller horizons.

Cheers, Mike.

ROFL! That made my day! So true ..... :-) :-)

Personal milestone last week. Our firstborn turned 21. He has turned out well indeed, a loving and caring fellow. Heck, where did the years go? :-)

Cheers, Mike.
