My Grandson turned 16 today. He also went flying for the first
time without his grandpa (me). I wish it would have been
in the Taylorcraft but it wasn't meant to be. Hopefully it will be airworthy
(from a legal standpoint) soon. He Soloed in a Cessna 150. On his first landing one of my instructor friends was waiting to take off and he commented that it was a good job (it was) . Another pilot took off (an IFR student of mine) and she commendted that his takeoff was very good. We did a lot of landings before his surprise birthday party at the
Hangar. When the party was over he asked me to go around once before
he Soloed. We have one year and hopefully a lot of trips to make. Perhaps one of us in the Taylorcraft and the other in the 150 and sometimes together. I do believe he put together the three best first Solo Landings I have ever seen. I will sleep good tonight.
