Milestones

rfrench soloed his first flight student today. He called me from the ramp, saying "That's his engine you hear in the background. I'm not in the plane."

I bet the first time an instructor ever does that, it's scarier for the instructor than it is for the student.

There's no LJ mood thingy for "proud".

Yup, you just have to look at the face of those gliding instructors sending a student solo. Boy do they look stressed when the student joins circuit.
