Five years ago today: my first solo. One circuit of Elstree in G-KIKI, fifteen minutes, and a very loud empty right seat. Today it's chucking it down. Full flight: https://youtu.be/-kc-Rl_uixs ✈️ #FirstSolo #LearningToFly

“Every pilot looks at their first solo flight as a major rite of passage they never forget. It marks the first time a person realizes they're truly responsible for their own life.”

I fulfilled my childhood dream

Today, the day after my 30th birthday, I had the chance to land after my first flight as a pilot-in-command.

A rush of adrenaline like never before. A sense of pride for having achieved my goal. Happy to have realized my childhood dream.
